Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; 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. From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.-Matthew 4:12-17***After Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist approximately 30 years after John the Baptist and Jesus were born, the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. Jesus spoke to Andrew and another disciple of John the Baptist, and Jesus spoke to Andrew's brother Simon Peter. Afterwards, Jesus went to Galilee, the northern province, and Jesus spoke to Philip and Nathanael. Simon Peter, James, John, Andrew, and Philip were among the 1st disciples of Jesus, and they became 4 of the 12 apostles of Jesus. In Cana in Galilee, Jesus and his disciples attended a wedding, and Mary was with them. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb when Mary was a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. After a temporary stay in Egypt, Joseph, Mary and Jesus lived in Nazareth in Galilee, and other children lived in the household. After the wedding event and the miracle manifested, Jesus and the disciples went to Jerusalem in Judea, the southern province. In Jerusalem, Jesus took action against the monetary dealings occurring at the temple of the Lord. Moreover, in Judea, Nicodemus the Pharisee visited Jesus, and the disciples of Jesus began baptizing people, and the disciples of John the Baptist spoke to John the Baptist of the baptisms being performed. Sometime thereafter, John the Baptist spoke to Herod Antipas the tetrarch, ruler of Galilee for the Roman Empire, regarding Herod's actions and behavior, and Herod imprisoned John the Baptist. When Jesus and his disciples began journeying to Galilee, they passed through Samaria, the middle province. Before John the Baptist was beheaded, he sent 2 of his disciples to question Jesus.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan:-Joshua 19:32-33
Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.-Isaiah 9:1-2
