After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee. He preached the good news of God.

The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip and said to him,“ Follow me.”

What Jesus did here in Cana in Galilee was the first of his signs. Jesus showed his glory by doing this sign. And his disciples believed in him.

They replied,“ Are you from Galilee too? Look into it. You will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”

When the Sanhedrin heard this, they covered their ears. They yelled at the top of their voices. They all rushed at him.

Others said,“ He is the Messiah.” Still others asked,“ How can the Messiah come from Galilee?

But they shouted,“ Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”“ Should I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.“ We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.

When the leaders heard this, they became very angry. They wanted to put the apostles to death.

Men who are like lions are all around me. I am forced to lie down among people who are like hungry animals. Their teeth are like spears and arrows. Their tongues are like sharp swords.

John had been put in prison. When Jesus heard about this, he returned to Galilee.Jesus left Nazareth and went to live in the city of Capernaum. It was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali.In that way, what the prophet Isaiah had said came true. He had said,“ Land of Zebulun! Land of Naphtali! Galilee, where Gentiles live! Land along the Mediterranean Sea! Territory east of the Jordan River!The people who are now living in darkness have seen a great light. They are now living in a very dark land. But a light has shined on them.”( Isaiah 9:1, 2)

A group of sinful people has closed in on me. They are all around me like a pack of dogs. They have pierced my hands and my feet.

Those who hate me without any reason are more than the hairs on my head. Many people who don’t have any reason to be my enemies are trying to destroy me. They force me to give back what I didn’t steal.

Many enemies are all around me. They are like strong bulls from the land of Bashan.They are like roaring lions that tear to pieces what they kill. They open their mouths wide to attack me.

Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Holy Spirit. News about him spread through the whole countryside.He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
