Jesus Begins His Ministry

12 Now when Jesus heard that (A)John had been taken into custody, (B)He departed into Galilee; 13 and leaving Nazareth, He came and (C)lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 in order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,

15 “(D)The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
[a]By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the [b]Gentiles—
16 (E)The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great Light,
And those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death,
Upon them a Light dawned.”

17 (F)From that time Jesus began to [c]preach and say, “(G)Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

The First Disciples

18 (H)Now as Jesus was walking by (I)the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, (J)Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 And He *said to them, “[d]Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 And immediately they left their nets and followed Him. 21 And going on from there He saw two other brothers, [e](K)James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them. 22 And immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

Ministry in Galilee

23 And Jesus was going (L)throughout all Galilee, (M)teaching in their synagogues and (N)preaching the [f]gospel of the kingdom, and (O)healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.
