34. Settlement in Capernaum. Mt. 4:13–17; Mk. 1:14, 15; Lk. 4:15

From Cana the Lord came and settled in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, who says: The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those sitting in the region and shadow of death a light has dawned (Is 9:1–2).

From that time Jesus began to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and to say: Repent, for the time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God has drawn near, the Kingdom of Heaven; repent and believe the Gospel. He taught in their synagogues, and was glorified by all.
