Matthew 4:13-16
Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali--to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:
"Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
the way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles--
the people living in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned." (Isaiah 9:1-2)

Luke 4:31-32
Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. They were amazed at his teaching, because his words had authority.
