The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry(A)

12 Now when Jesus heard that John was put in prison, He left for Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth, He came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying:

15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
    the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan,
    Galilee of the Gentiles:
16 The people who sat in darkness
    saw great light.
And on those who sat in the land of the shadow of death,
    light has dawned.”[a]

17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

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