¹⁵ The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by 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.

³² A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
