Jesus Begins His Ministry
Matthew 4:14 “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,”
which was spoken... This name was used even in Isaiah’s time because Galilee lay on the route through which all Gentiles passed in and out of Israel.
This region was the area settled by the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali after the conquest of Joshua’s time. Isaiah had prophesied (Isa. 9:1-2) that light would come to this region, and Matthew saw this movement of Jesus as fulfillment of this prophecy.
