Matthew 4:15 Meaning and Commentary

(See Gill on Matthew 4:14)

Matthew 4:15 In-Context

13 And he left the city of Nazareth, and came [And the city of Nazareth left, he came], and dwelt in the city of Capernaum, beside the sea, in the coasts [in the ends] of Zabulon and Nephthalim,

14 that it should be fulfilled, that was said by Esaias, the prophet, saying,

15 The land of Zabulon and the land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea over Jordan, of Galilee of heathen men,

16 the people that walked in darknesses saw great light [the people that dwelt in darknesses saw great light], and while men sat in the country of [the] shadow of death, light arose to them [light is sprung to them].

17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and [to] say, Do ye penance, for the kingdom of heavens shall come nigh [for the realm of heaven hath nighed].
