Matthew 4: 12-23 - 'He went and settled in Capernaum: in this way the prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 1720 (in 'Christian Beatitude') - The New Testament uses several expressions to characterize the beatitude to which God calls man: — the coming of the Kingdom of God; — the vision of God: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God”; — entering into the joy of the Lord; — entering into God’s rest:

- 1989 (in 'Justification') - The first work of the grace of the Holy Spirit is conversion, effecting justification in accordance with Jesus’ proclamation at the beginning of the Gospel: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Moved by grace, man turns toward God and away from sin, thus accepting forgiveness and righteousness from on high. “Justification is not only the remission of sins, but also the sanctification and renewal of the interior man..

- 878 (In 'The Hierarchy of the Church') - Finally, it belongs to the sacramental nature of ecclesial ministry that it have a personal character. Although Christ’s ministers act in communion with one another, they also always act in a personal way. Each one is called personally: “You, follow me” in order to be a personal witness within the common mission, to bear personal responsibility before him who gives the mission, acting “in his person” and for other persons: “I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit . . .”; “I absolve you. . . .”

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Gospel Exegesis podcast, produced by Logical Bible Study.
0:18.4	As you probably know, our goal here is to help you understand the literal
0:22.3	sense of scripture. What did the original author intend to communicate to his original audience?
0:28.2	What did Jesus mean when he spoke particular words? And the Catholic teaching is that if we really
0:32.8	want to understand the Bible, we need to start with the literal sense. That is the foundation of everything
0:38.7	else involving scripture. So today we're going to look at Matthew chapter 4 verses 12 to 23.
0:46.3	Hearing that John had been arrested, Jesus went back to Galilee and leaving Nazareth, he went
0:52.1	and settled in Copernum, a lakeside town on the borders of Zebulun and Naftali.
0:58.0	In this way the prophecy of Isaiah was to be fulfilled.
1:02.5	Land of Zebulun, land of Naftali, way of the sea on the far side of the Jordan,
1:08.6	Galilee of the nations. The people that lived in darkness have
1:12.0	seen a great light. On those who dwell in the land and shadow of death, a light has dawned.
1:18.6	From that moment Jesus began his preaching with the message, repent for the kingdom of heaven
1:23.7	is close at hand. As he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers,
1:29.1	Simon, who was called Peter, and his brother Andrew. They were making a cast in the lake
1:34.2	with their net, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, follow me and I will make you
1:40.2	fishes of men. And they left their nets at once and followed him.
1:45.0	Going on from there he saw another pair of brothers, James, son of Zebedee and his brother
1:50.0	John.
1:51.0	They were in their boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them.
