## Matthew 4:14-18 in Context (Verses 11–21 KJV)
 
 [11 ](/kjv/matthew/4/11) Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/matthew/4/12) ¶ Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
 
 [13 ](/kjv/matthew/4/13) And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
 
 [14 ](/kjv/matthew/4/14) That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
 
 [15 ](/kjv/matthew/4/15) The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, *by* the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
 
 [16 ](/kjv/matthew/4/16) The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/matthew/4/17) ¶ From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/matthew/4/18) ¶ And Jesus, 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.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/matthew/4/19) And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/matthew/4/20) And they straightway left *their* nets, and followed him.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/matthew/4/21) And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James *the son* of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
