Before or after John\'s arrest??
Matt 4:1-11 has the temptation of Christ
4:12- states John was arrested
4:13- Jesus settles in Galilee
4:17- Jesus begins ministry
4:18-21- Jesus begins to call disciples
Matt 4:11 Then the devil *left Him; and behold, angels came and {began} to minister to Him.
Matt 4:12 ¶ Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee;
Matt 4:13 and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.
Matt 4:14 {This was} to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet:
Matt 4:15 "THE LAND OF ZEBULUN AND THE LAND OF NAPHTALI, BY THE WAY OF THE SEA, BEYOND THE JORDAN, GALILEE OF THE GENTILES--
Matt 4:16 "THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SITTING IN DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT, AND THOSE WHO WERE SITTING IN THE LAND AND SHADOW OF DEATH, UPON THEM A LIGHT DAWNED."
Matt 4:17 ¶ From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Matt 4:18 ¶ Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
Matt 4:19 And He *said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Matt 4:20 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
Matt 4:21 Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the {son} of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.
Compare with-
John 3:22-24
John 3:22 ¶ After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing.
John 3:23 John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and {people} were coming and were being baptized--
John 3:24 for John had not yet been thrown into prison.
What think ye?
