MATTHEW 4:12-25
When Jesus heard that John had been
arrested, he left Judea and returned to
Galilee. 13He went first to Nazareth,
then left there and moved to Capernaum, beside the Sea of Galilee, in the
region of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14This
fulfilled what God said through the
prophet Isaiah:
“In the land of Zebulun and
of Naphtali,
beside the sea, beyond the
Jordan River,
in Galilee where so many Gentiles
live,
16 the people who sat in darkness
have seen a great light.
And for those who lived in the land
where death casts its shadow,
a light has shined.”*
17 From then on Jesus began to preach,
“Repent of your sins and turn to God, for
the Kingdom of Heaven is near.*”
18One day as Jesus was walking along
the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw
two brothers—Simon, also called Peter,
and Andrew—throwing a net into the
water, for they fished for a living. 19Jesus
called out to them, “Come, follow me,
and I will show you how to fish for
people!” 20And they left their nets at
once and followed him.
21A little farther up the shore he saw
two other brothers, James and John, sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee,
repairing their nets. And he called them

to come, too. 22 They immediately
followed him, leaving the boat and their
father behind.
23 Jesus traveled throughout the region
of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues
and announcing the Good News about
the Kingdom. And he healed every kind
of disease and illness. 24News about him
spread as far as Syria, and people soon
began bringing to him all who were sick.
And whatever their sickness or disease,
or if they were demon possessed or epileptic or paralyzed—he healed them all.
25Large crowds followed him wherever
he went—people from Galilee, the Ten
Towns,* Jerusalem, from all over Judea,
and from east of the Jordan River.

Answer me when I call to you,
O God who declares me innocent.
Free me from my troubles.
Have mercy on me and hear
my prayer.
How long will you people ruin my
reputation?
How long will you make
groundless accusations?
How long will you continue your
lies?

3 You can be sure of this:
The Lord set apart the godly
for himself.
The Lord will answer when I call
to him.

Don’t sin by letting anger control
you.
Think about it overnight and
remain silent.

Let your face smile on us, Lord.
