Mt 4:16 The people. Those of the region just described (Mt 4:15). Which sat in darkness. In religious ignorance. Saw great light. Christ, the Light of the world. In the teaching of Jesus in the region described by the prophet there was a remarkable fulfillment of the prediction.
The people which sate in darkenesse, saw great light: and to them which sate in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung vp.
