Matthew 4:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 4:15

13 And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

15 “The^a land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles:

16 ^aThe people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,
And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death
Light has dawned.”

17 ^aFrom that time Jesus began to preach and to say, ^b“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven¹ is at hand.”

Four Fishermen Called as Disciples

18 ^aAnd Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon ^bcalled Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
