Matthew 4:14-17

4:14 so that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled: ¹ 

4:15 “Land 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.” ² 

4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach this message: ³  “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
