Matthew 4:16 in context

  1. 14that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
  2. 15“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
    toward the sea, beyond the Jordan,
    Galilee of the Gentiles,
  3. 16the people who sat in darkness saw a great light,
    to those who sat in the region and shadow of death,
    to them light has dawned.”

  5. 18Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
