Matthew 4:13-15

Matthew 4:13-15
EasyEnglish Bible
13 But he did not stay in Nazareth. He went to live in Capernaum, which is a town on the shore of Lake Galilee. It was in the part of Israel called Zebulun and Naphtali.[a]
14 This caused God's message to become true. Long ago God had said through his prophet Isaiah:[b]
15 ‘I am speaking to you people who live in Zebulun and Naphtali.[c]
Your part of this country is on the way to Lake Galilee.
It is across the Jordan River in the part of the country called Galilee.
Some people who are not Jews live there.

- 4:15 These people did not know God or his book very well. Isaiah said that they were like people who are walking in the dark. God promised to send his Son Jesus to them. He would be like a light to show them what God was like.
