15 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"

16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
|
16 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.
|
|
17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
|
17 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
|
|
18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
|
18 At once they left their nets and followed him.

19 And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
|
19 When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets.
|
|
20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
|
20 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
