  • Matthew Study Notes—Chapter 4
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 4:17

      preaching: That is, publicly proclaiming.​—See study note on Mt 3:1.

      the Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near: This message of a new world government was the theme of Jesus’ preaching. (Mt 10:7; Mr 1:15) John the Baptist started to proclaim a similar message about six months prior to Jesus’ baptism (Mt 3:1, 2); yet Jesus could say with added meaning that the Kingdom had “drawn near,” since he was now present as the anointed King-Designate. There is no record that after Jesus’ death his disciples continued to proclaim that the Kingdom had “drawn near” or was at hand.
