Matthew 4:13-19 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

13. But instead of staying in Nazareth, Jesus moved to Capernaum. This town was beside Lake Galilee in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali.

14. So God's promise came true, just as the prophet Isaiah had said,

15. “Listen, lands of Zebulunand Naphtali,lands along the roadto the sea and eastof the Jordan!Listen Galilee,land of the Gentiles!

16. Although your peoplelive in darkness,they will seea bright light.Although they livein the shadow of death,a light will shineon them.”

17. Then Jesus started preaching, “Turn back to God! The kingdom of heaven will soon be here.”

18. While Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw two brothers. One was Simon, also known as Peter, and the other was Andrew. They were fishermen, and they were casting their net into the lake.

19. Jesus said to them, “Come with me! I will teach you how to bring in people instead of fish.”
