Notes

Matthew 4:13

Capernaum was in Galilee, a region that the religious leaders in Judea and Jerusalem viewed negatively (see John 1:46; 7:41–42, 52). Many people from Judea thought Galileans to be unrefined and poorly spoken (compare Matt 26:73). The leaders believed these people could make their teachings less accurate. Galilee also had more non-Jewish people than Judea.

Matthew 4:12–11:1

John the Baptist and the Father announced Jesus as the Messiah (3:13–17). He then endured testing in the wilderness with obedience (4:1–11). After this, the Messiah was ready to begin his work. He first preached the message of the kingdom of God to the people of Galilee.
