15The land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali,
By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles,
16The people that sat in darkness, saw great light,
And to those sitting in the region and shadow of death light sprang up.
17From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 18And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19And he says to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20And they, immediately leaving the nets, followed him. 21And going on from thence, he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22And they, immediately leaving the ship and their father, followed him.
23And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every infirmity among the people. 24And his fame went forth into all Syria; and they brought to him all that were sick, taken with divers diseases and torments, and possessed with demons, and lunatic, and palsied; and he healed them. 25And great multitudes followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judæa, and from beyond the Jordan.
V. And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain; and he having sat down, his disciples came to him. 2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying:
3Happy the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Happy they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.
