Jesus Begins His Ministry

(Isaiah 9:1–7, Mark 1:14–15, Luke 4:14–15)

When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee. 13 Leaving Nazareth, He went [and] lived in Capernaum, which [is] by the sea in [the] region of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah

15 

“Land of Zebulun

and land of Naphtali,

[the] Way of [the] Sea, beyond the Jordan,

Galilee of the Gentiles —

16 

the people living in darkness

have seen [a] great light;

on those living in [the] land [of the] shadow of death,

a light has dawned

17 

From that time [on] Jesus began to preach“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
