15 (B)The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
[a]By the way of the sea, on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee of the [b]Gentiles
16 (C)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 (D)From that time Jesus began to [c]preach and say, (E)Repent, for the kingdom of heaven [d]is at hand.”
