a town by the Lake on the frontiers of Zebulun and Naphtali,
004:014 in order that these words, spoken through the Prophet Isaiah,
might be fulfilled,
004:015 "Zebulun's land and Naphtali's land; the road by the Lake;
the country beyond the Jordan; Galilee of the Nations!
004:016 The people who were dwelling in darkness have seen a brilliant light;
and on those who were dwelling in the region of the shadow
of death, on them light has dawned."
004:017 From that time Jesus began to preach. "Repent," He said,
"for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand."
004:018 And walking along the shore of the Lake of Galilee He saw
two brothers--Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew--
throwing a drag-net into the Lake; for they were fishers.
004:019 And He said to them, "Come and follow me, and I will make you
fishers of men."
004:020 So they immediately left their nets and followed Him.
As He went further on,
004:021 He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zabdi and his
brother John, in the boat with their father Zabdi mending
their nets; and He called them.
004:022 And they at once left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
004:023 Then Jesus travelled through all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom,
and curing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.
004:024 Thus His fame spread through all Syria; and they brought all
the sick to Him, the people who were suffering from various
diseases and pains--demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics;
and He cured them.
004:025 And great crowds followed Him, coming from Galilee,
from the Ten Towns, from Jerusalem, and from beyond the district
