Matthew 4:23-25

The Tested Son, the Kingdom Proclaimed, and the First Disciples Called

Matthew moves from Spirit-led wilderness testing, to Jesus' victory by Scripture, to Galilean fulfillment, to kingdom preaching, to disciple calling, and finally to a summary of Jesus' teaching, proclamation, healing, and expanding fame.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

24 News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering acute pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and He healed them.

25 Large crowds followed Him, having come from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
