“If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone (note: Psalm 91:11–12).’”

When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee.
—
Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
—
to fulfill what was spoken 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 is near.”
—
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.
—
“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
—
And 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, mending their nets. Jesus called them,
—
and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.
—
Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
—
News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering acute pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and He healed them.
—
Large crowds followed Him, having come from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
