← Expository Thoughts on the Gospels — St. Matthew

12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cavSt into prison, he departed into Gahlee ;

13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim :

14 That it migJit be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, Baying,

15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim b^ the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles ;

16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light ; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Kepent : for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

18 And Jesus, walking by the sea

of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea ; for they were h-shers.

19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

20 And they straightway left tJielr nets, and followed him.

21 And going on from thence, he saw otiier two brethren, James the tio/i of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zcbedee their father, mending their nets ; and he called them.

22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

23 And Jesus went about all Gali- lee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel o'f the kingdom, and healing aU manner of sickness
