Solution Summary

One needs preliminary explanations in order to get the hang of the whole issue. First, what is the public ministry of Jesus? The public ministry of Jesus consists in proclaiming the kingdom of heaven and healing the sick. This he started doing openly after the baptism and temptation.
Secondly, where or what is Galilee? Galilee is a large region in the northern part of Palestine (now Israel). It has many cities and towns mentioned in the gospels e.g. Nazareth, Capernaum, Gennesaret, Cana, Jordan river etc. The Galilean ministry of Jesus is that ministry done within this region. And this varies from one gospel to the other. The outline is more or less the same in the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), but it is different in John. The gospel of Matthew says that he entered Galilee (4:12) and then that he left Galilee (19:1). This then gives you the frame of his ministry in Galilee.
