14 That it might be completed having been spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying, 15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea beyond Jordan, Galilee of the nations: 16 The people sitting in darkness saw a great light; and to them sitting in the room and shadow of death, light has sprung up to them. 17 From then Jesus began to proclaim, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near. 18 And Jesus, walking about by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon being called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a sweep-net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 And he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you the fishermen of men. 20 And they instantly having let go their nets, followed him. 21 And having proceeded thence, he saw other two brethren, James him of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, adjusting their nets; and he called them. 22 And they having instantly let go the ship and their father, followed him. 23 And Jesus went about the whole of Galilee, teaching in their assemblies, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing disease, and every weakness in the people. 24 And a report went forth of him into the whole of Syria: and they brought to him all those having injuries, being oppressed by various diseases, and trials, and being under the influence of a demon, and being lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them. 25 And many crowds followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond Jordan.
