| Isaiah 9:1 | At *the first time the land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthali was lightly touched: and at the last the way of the sea beyond the Jordan of the Galilee of the Gentiles was heavily loaded. Matthew 4:15. | Loaded. Theglathphalassar took away whole tribes, (2 Paralipomenon 5:26.) the year after this. Yet these people were the first enlightened with the rays of the gospel, (Matthew 4:13.) though so much despised, John 7:52. (Calmet) --- Here Christ preached first. But after his passion, few Jews believed in him. (Worthington) |
