New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Matthew 4
¹² Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee;
¹³ and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.
¹⁴ This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet:
¹⁵ "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles-
¹⁶ "The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great Light, And those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death, Upon them a Light dawned."
¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
¹⁸ Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
¹⁹ And He *said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."
²⁰ Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
²¹ Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.
²² Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
