This fulfilled what God said through the prophet Isaiah:

“In the land of Zebulun and of Naphtali,
    
beside the sea, 

beyond the Jordan River,
    
in Galilee where so many Gentiles live,

the people who sat in darkness
    
have seen a great light.

And for those who lived in the land 

where death casts its shadow,
    
a light has shined.”

Matthew 4:14-16
