Matthew 4:15-25

Lamsa(i) 15 O land of Zabulon, O land of Napthali, the way to the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles! 16 The people who dwelt in darkness saw a great light, and those who settled in the country and in the midst of the shadows of death, light shone on them. 17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is coming near. 18 And while he was walking by the shore of the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter and his brother Andrew, who were casting nets into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 20 So they immediately left their nets and went after him. 21 And when he left that place he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and his brother John, in a ship with Zebedee their father, repairing their nets; and Jesus called them. 22 So they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. 23 And Jesus travelled throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and sickness among the people. 24 And his fame was heard throughout Syria; so they brought to him all who were badly afflicted with divers sickness, and those who were tormented with pains, and the insane, and the epileptics, and the cripples; and he healed them. 25 So large crowds followed him from Galilee, and from the ten cities, and from Jerusalem and from Judaea, and from across the Jordan.
