Matthew 4:15

"that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,"

Key Reflection

In Matthew 4:15, Jesus quotes from Isaiah 9:1-2, which originally spoke of God’s light and salvation coming to the people of Israel, particularly those in the regions of Galilee and its surrounding areas. For Jesus’ audience, this prophecy would have resonated as it promised deliverance and enlightenment for a people long oppressed under Assyrian and Babylonian rule, aligning with his message of hope and redemption.
