The Scriptures 1998

Matthew 4:12-18 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. And יהושע, having heard that Yoḥanan had been put in prison, withdrew into Galil.

13. And leaving Natsareth, He came and dwelt in Kephar Naḥum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zeḇulun and Naphtali,

14. to fill what was spoken by Yeshayahu the prophet, saying,

15. “Land of Zeḇulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Yardĕn, Galil of the gentiles –

16. the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, and upon those who sat in the land and shadow of death, light arose to them.”

17. From that time יהושע began to proclaim and to say, “Repent, for the reign of the heavens has drawn near.”

18. And יהושע, walking by the Sea of Galil, saw two brothers, Shim‛on called Kĕpha, and Andri his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
