Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee;

Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled:

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

"THE LAND OF ZEBULUN AND THE LAND OF NAPHTALI, BY THE WAY OF THE SEA, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE JORDAN, GALILEE OF THE GENTILES—

The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SITTING IN DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT, AND THOSE WHO WERE SITTING IN THE LAND AND SHADOW OF DEATH, UPON THEM A LIGHT DAWNED."

The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near."

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
