Matthew 4:13-17

Matthew 4:13-17 NCV

He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum, a town near Lake Galilee, in the area near Zebulun and Naphtali. Jesus did this to bring about what the prophet Isaiah had said: “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali along the sea, beyond the Jordan River. This is Galilee where the non-Jewish people live. These people who live in darkness will see a great light. They live in a place covered with the shadows of death, but a light will shine on them.” From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Change your hearts and lives, because the kingdom of heaven is near.”
