12 And having heard that John was delivered up, He withdrew into Galilee. 13 And having left Nazareth, having come, He dwelt at Capernaum, which is by the sea in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 that it might be fulfilled, that having been spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: 15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— 16 the people sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in the region and shadow of death, a light dawned on them.” 17 From that time Jesus began to proclaim and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.” 18 And walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 And He says to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you? fishers of men.” 20 And immediately, having left the nets, they followed Him. 21 And having gone on from there, He saw two others, brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets; and He called them. 22 And immediately, having left the boat and their father, they followed Him. 23 And He was going about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. 24 And the news of Him went out into all Syria. And they brought to Him all the ill having various diseases and oppressing torments, and being possessed by demons, and being epileptics, and paralytics, and He healed them. 25 And there followed Him many crowds from Galilee, and the Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
