CHRIST BEGINS HIS GALILEAN MINISTRY--CALLING OF PETER AND ANDREW, JAMES AND JOHN--HIS FIRST GALILEAN CIRCUIT. ( = Mar 1:14-20, Mar 1:35-39; Luk 4:14-15). (Mat 4:12-25) Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison--more simply, "was delivered up," as recorded in Mat 14:3-5; Mar 6:17-20; Luk 3:19-20. he departed--rather, "withdrew." into Galilee--as recorded, in its proper place, in Joh 4:1-3.
