Matthew 4:16 Context
14That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the Prophet, saying, 15The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthali, by the way of the Sea beyond Iordane, Galilee of the Gentiles: 16The people which sate in darkenesse, saw great light: and to them which sate in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung vp. 17¶ From that time Iesus began to preach, and to say, Repent, for the kingdome of heauen is at hand. 18¶ And Iesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the Sea (for they were fishers)
