14
After John had been put in prison, Jesus went to Galilee and preached the Good News from God.
15
"The right time has come," he said, "and the Kingdom of God is near! Turn away from your sins and believe the Good News!" 116
As Jesus walked along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw two fishermen, Simon and his brother Andrew, catching fish with a net.
17
Jesus said to them, "Come with me, and I will teach you to catch people."
18
At once they left their nets and went with him.
19
He went a little farther on and saw two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in their boat getting their nets ready.
20
As soon as Jesus saw them, he called them; they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and went with Jesus.
