4:12-17 ....Jesus starts preaching
Now hearing that John had been captured he
(Jesus) departed into Galilee. He
left Nazareth and came to Capernaum
beside the sea in the districts of Zebulon and Naphthali, so that what was
spoken through the prophet Isaiah may be
fulfilled. “Land of
Zebulon and land
of
|
Naphthali, by the sea and beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations, the people sitting in darkness have seen
a great light. For those sitting in
a land under the shadow of death a light has sprung up." Then Jesus began to proclaim from there
and to say “Repent for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.”

4:18-22 ....Disciples called
On
walking beside the sea of Galilee he (Jesus) saw two brothers, Simon called
Peter and Andrew his brother. They
were casting a net into the sea for they were fisherman. And he (Jesus) says to them. “Come after me and I will make you
fishers
|
of men.”
And immediately leaving the nets they followed him. And going on from there he saw two other
brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother in the boat with
Zebedee their father, mending their nets.
And he called them. And they
immediately left the boat and their father and followed him.

4:23-25 ....Jesus preaching all over
He went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and
proclaiming the gospel (good news) of the kingdom and healing every disease
and every illness amongst the people. And the report of him went
into all of Syria. They
|
brought
to him all those where were ill with various dieases, those who were
tortured with demon possession and the lunatics and the paralysed. He healed them. Many crowds followed him from Galilee and
Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond the Jordan.
