Jesus Begins His Work In Galilee (Matthew 4:12-17; Mark 2:35-39 & Luke 4:14-15) New Living and Good News Translations

NEW LIVING TRANSLATION
Matthew 4:12-17
12  When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he left Judea and returned to Galilee. 
13  He went first to Nazareth, then left there and moved to Capernaum, beside the Sea of Galilee, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. 
14  This fulfilled what God said through the prophet Isaiah:
15  “In the land of Zebulun and of Naphtali, beside the sea, beyond the Jordan River, in Galilee where so many Gentiles live,
16  the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light.  And for those who lived in the land where death casts its shadow, a light has shined.”
17  From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”
Mark 2:35-39
35  Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray. 
36  Later Simon and the others went out to find him. 
37  When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38  But Jesus replied, “We must go on to other towns as well, and I will preach to them, too. That is why I came.” 
39  So he traveled throughout the region of Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and casting out demons.
Luke 4:14-15
14  Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit’s power. Reports about him spread quickly through the whole region. 
15  He taught regularly in their synagogues and was praised by everyone

GOOD NEWS TRANSLATION
Matthew 4:12-17
12  When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee. 
13  He did not stay in Nazareth, but went to live in Capernaum, a town by Lake Galilee, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali. 
14  This was done to make come true what the prophet Isaiah had said,
15  “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, on the road to the sea, on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee, land of the Gentiles!
16  The people who live in darkness will see a great light.  On those who live in the dark land of death
    the light will shine.”
17  From that time Jesus began to preach his message: “Turn away from your sins, because the Kingdom of heaven is near!”
Mark 2:35-39
35  Very early the next morning, long before daylight, Jesus got up and left the house. He went out of town to a lonely place, where he prayed. 
36  But Simon and his companions went out searching for him, 
37  and when they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38  But Jesus answered, “We must go on to the other villages around here. I have to preach in them also, because that is why I came.”
39  So he traveled all over Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and driving out demons.
Luke 4:14-15
14  Then Jesus returned to Galilee, and the power of the Holy Spirit was with him. The news about him spread throughout all that territory. 
15  He taught in the synagogues and was praised by everyone.
