12 [ref]When Yeshua heard that Yohan had been arrested, he withdrew up to Galilee. 13 [ref]He moved from Nazareth across to Capernaum beside the lake in the region that had been given to the tribes of Zebulun and Naftali 14 so that what had been written by the prophet Isayah would come true,

15 [ref]‘Land of Zebulun and land of Naftali,

the way of the sea beyond the Yordan;

Galilee of the non-Jews.

16 The people sitting in darkness

saw a powerful light,

and those sitting in a land under the shadow of death

had a light rise over them.’

17 [ref]From then onwards, Yeshua started preaching and telling people to turn from their sins because the kingdom of heavens is close.
