7 А Иисус се отдалечи с учениците Си към морето, и след Него тръгна множество народ от Галилея, Иудея,8 Иерусалим, Идумея и изотвъд Иордан. И живеещите около Тир и Сидон, като чуха, какво Той вършеше, дойдоха при Него в голямо множество.9 И поръча на учениците Си да Го чака една ладия, поради навалицата, за да Го не притискат;10 понеже Той бе изцерил мнозина, тъй че, които имаха недъзи, наваляха върху Му, за да се докоснат до Него.11 И нечистите духове, щом Го виждаха, падаха пред Него, викаха и казваха: Ти си Син Божий!12 Но Той строго им запретяваше да разгласяват за Него.
Matthew 12
15 Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all16 and ordered them not to make him known.17 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.19 He will not quarrel or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets;20 a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory;21 and in his name the Gentiles will hope.”
Matthew 4
13 And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali,14 so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—16 the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned.”17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Matthew 9
35 And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction.36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
