Matthew 4:12–22 · BSB
4:12 When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee.
4:13 Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
4:14 to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
4:15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
4:16 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.”
4:17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
4:18 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 sea, for they were fishermen.
4:19 “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
4:20 And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
4:21 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, mending their nets. Jesus called them,
4:22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.
