Matthew 4:14-17

4:14 so that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled:

4:15Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,

the way by the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles –

4:16 the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light,

and on those who sit in the region and shadow of death a light has dawned.

4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach this message: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
