Matthew 4:12 in context

8 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

9 “All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”

13 Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14 to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—

16 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.”
