In sections 44-52 Jesus makes his first tour of Galilee with the Four Fishermen whom he has now called to follow him continuously. On the return to Capernaum Matthew is called and various miracles arouse the enthusiasm of the multitudes and the hostility of the Pharisees to Christ's teachings.

§ 44. THE FIRST TOUR OF GALILEE WITH THE FOUR FISHERMEN

Mark 1:35-39Matt. 4:23-25Luke 4:42-44
35 And in the
morning, a great while
before day, he rose
up and went out,
and departed into a
desert place, and
there prayed. 36 And
Simon and they that
were with him followed
after him; 37 and
they found him, and
say unto him, All
are seeking thee.
38 And he saith unto
them, Let us go
elsewhere into the next
towns, that I may
preach there also; for
to this end came I
forth. 39 And he went
into their synagogues
throughout all
Galilee, preaching
and casting out 4devils.



23 And 1Jesus went
about in all Galilee,a
teaching in their
synagogues, and
preaching the 2gospel
of the kingdom,
and healing all manner
of disease and all
manner of sickness
among the the people.
24 And the report of him
went forth into all Syria:
and they brought unto
him all that were sick,
holden with divers
diseases and torments,
3possessed with devils,
and epileptic, and
palsied; and he healed
them. 25 And there
followed him great
multitudes from Galilee
and Decapolis and
Jerusalem and Judea and
from beyond Jordan.
42 And when it was
day, he came out and
went into a desert place:
and the multitudes
sought after
him, and came unto
him, and would have
stayed him, that he
should not go from
them. 43 But he said
unto them, I must
preach the 5good
tidings of the kingdom
of God to the
other cities also: for
therefore was I sent.

44 And he was
preaching in the
synagogues of 6Galilee.
