Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum by the lake, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
\n\u2018Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali,
\n   on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles\u2014
\nthe people who sat in darkness
\n   have seen a great light,
\nand for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.\u2019
\nFrom that time Jesus began to proclaim, \u2018Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.\u2019<\/p>\n

As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake\u2014for they were fishermen. And he said to them, \u2018Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.\u2019 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him. <\/p>\n

Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing every disease and every sickness among the people.<\/p>\n

This is the Gospel of the Lord                           <\/em><\/p>\n
