Lesson 21~ John the baptist is thrown into jail and Jesus starts to preach.

Luke 3:19-20; Mat. 4:12

John the baptist spoke against Herod and the evil thing he did when he married his brother, Phillip's wife, Heroldias.  This made Herod mad, so he had John put in jail.

When Jesus had heard that John had been put into jail, he  left Nazareth, and went into Galilee and stayed in Capernaum on the seas coast near the borders of Zabulon & Nephthalim. In doing this, Jesus was fulfilling the prophecy that was spoken by Isaiah (Is. 9:1). Jesus was the light that they would behold.

There Jesus started to preach, saying, "Repent:for the kingdom of heaven is near."These people accepted and listened to him.
