 But in Matthew He is looking at what concerns the earth — the kingdom of heaven according to the prophecy of Daniel. He therefore waits till his earthly forerunner had finished his task. Hence Matthew leaves out all allusion to anything public about Christ before John is cast into prison. He presents to the Jews the kingdom of heaven as that which was according to their prophets. (Remarks on Matthew 4:12-25 by W. Kelly)
 But Luke, as well as Matthew, changes the order of events, for the purpose of bringing out the moral object of each Gospel. (Remarks on Matthew 4:12-25 by W. Kelly)
