Jesus Begins His Galilean Ministry – Matthew 4:12–17
When John the Baptist was arrested, Jesus withdrew to Galilee and made Capernaum his home, fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy about a great light dawning in darkness. In that region known as Galilee of the Gentiles, Jesus began to preach a simple but powerful message: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” This passage highlights the start of Jesus’ public ministry and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Reflect on what it means to respond to his call for repentance and the promise of God’s kingdom.
