# General Information:
|
|
|
|
In verses 15 and 16, the writer quotes the prophet Isaiah to show that Jesus' ministry in Galilee was a fulfillment of prophecy.
|
|
|
|
# This happened
|
|
|
|
This refers to Jesus' going to live in Capernaum.
|
|
|
|
# what was said
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "what God said" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali ... Galilee of the Gentiles! The people who sat
|
|
|
|
These territories describe the same area. The list of territories can be included in the following sentence. AT: "In the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali ... in the territory of Galilee where many Gentiles live, the people who sat"
|
|
|
|
# toward the sea
|
|
|
|
This is the Sea of Galilee.
|
|
|
|
# The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light
|
|
|
|
Here "darkness" is a metaphor for not knowing the truth about God. And "light" is a metaphor for God's true message that saves people from their sin. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, upon them has a light arisen
|
|
|
|
This basically has the same meaning as the first part of the sentence. Here "those who sat in the region and shadow of death" is a metaphor. It represents those who did not know God. These people were in danger of dying and being separated from God forever. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
