Isaiah 9:1-4 (NIV)
Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those
who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of
Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he
will honour Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea,
beyond the Jordan —
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has
dawned.

You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy;
they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.
For as in the day of Midian’s defeat, you have shattered
the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their
shoulders, the rod of their oppressor.
Matthew 4:12-23 (NIV)
Jesus Begins to Preach
When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison,
he withdrew to Galilee. Leaving Nazareth, he went and
lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of
Zebulun and Naphtali— to fulfil what was said through
the prophet Isaiah:
“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the
Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles — the
people living in darkness have seen a great light; on
those living in the land of the shadow of death a light
has dawned.”
From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the
kingdom of heaven has come near.”
Jesus Calls His First Disciples
As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw
two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew.
They were casting a net into the lake, for they were
fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send
you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and
followed him.
Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James
son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat
with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus
called them, and immediately they left the boat and their
father and followed him.
Jesus Heals the Sick
Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom,
and healing every disease and sickness among the
people.
