¹⁴ Now after John had been put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news of God,

²³ And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and making well those who were ill with any disease among the people.

¹² Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;

¹⁷ And he came preaching peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near;

¹ The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;

² To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure has come, and the day of punishment from our God; to give comfort to all who are sad;

³ To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.

²² After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judaea, and there he was with them for some time, giving baptism.
