When Jesus got word that John had been arrested, he returned to Galilee. He moved from his hometown, Nazareth, to the lakeside village Capernaum, nestled at the base of the Zebulun and Naphtali hills.

People sitting out their lives in the dark saw a huge light; Sitting in that dark, dark country of death, they watched the sun come up.
