Two days later, Jesus left and went to Galilee.
He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum, a town near Lake Galilee, in the area near Zebulun and Naphtali.
Then Andrew took Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas.” (“Cephas” means “Peter.”)
When the Samaritans came to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, so he stayed there two more days.
(Jesus had said before that a prophet is not respected in his own country.)
Jesus went again to visit Cana in Galilee where he had changed the water into wine. One of the king’s important officers lived in the city of Capernaum, and his son was sick.
I tell you that Christ became a servant of the Jews to show that God’s promises to the Jewish ancestors are true.
