13 And leaving Nazareth,[a] he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is 14 by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken [1]by Isaiah the prophet [_see Isa. 8:23; 9:1-2_], saying, 15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, [2]Toward the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the [3]Gentiles, 16 The people which sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to them which sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up. [Footnote 1: Or, _through_.] [Footnote 2: Gr. _The way of the sea_.] [Footnote 3: Gr. _nations_: and so elsewhere.] [Footnote a: Nazareth was never the Saviour's residence during his public ministry. After the wedding at Cana he lived a short time at _Capernaum_, and henceforth that city will be his abode, till he leaves Galilee six months before the crucifixion--most of the time, however, being actually spent in several journeys throughout Galilee, together with a trip to Jerusalem, and retirement to districts around Galilee.] § 41.
