Contextual Overview
12 Jesus heard that John was put in prison, so he went back to Galilee. 13 But he did not stay in Nazareth. He went to live in Capernaum, a town near Lake Galilee in the area near Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 He did this to give full meaning to what the prophet Isaiah said: 15 "Listen, land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, lands by the road that goes to the sea, the area past the Jordan River— Galilee, where those from other nations live. 16 The people who live in spiritual darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined for those who live in the land that is as dark as a grave." 17 From that time Jesus began to tell people his message: "Change your hearts and lives, because God's kingdom is now very near."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
From that time Jesus began to preach and to say,.... Not from the time he dwelt in Capernaum; for he had preached in Nazareth before he came there, Luke 4:16 nor from the time of John's being cast into prison; for he had preached, and made disciples, who were baptized by his orders, before John's imprisonment, John 3:22 John 4:1 but from the time that Satan left tempting him; as soon as that combat was over, immediately he went into Galilee, began to preach, and called his disciples. The words with which he began his ministry are the same with which John begun his; which shows the entire agreement between them, in that they not only preached the same doctrine, but in the same words; John 4:1- :
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes at Matthew 3:2.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Matthew 4:17. Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent — See on Matthew 3:1; Matthew 3:2. Every preacher commissioned by God to proclaim salvation to a lost world, begins his work with preaching the doctrine of repentance. This was the case with all the prophets, John the Baptist, Jesus Christ, all the apostles, and all their genuine successors in the Christian ministry. The reasons are evident in the notes already referred to; and for the explanation of the word κηÏÏ ÏÏειν, preaching or proclaiming as a herald, see at the end of chap. Matthew 3:0.
