15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand ; repent and believe in the gospel."
|
15 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"

16 As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea ; for they were fishermen.
|
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 to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."
|
17 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
|
|
18 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
|
18 At once they left their nets and followed him.

19 Going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the 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 Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away to follow Him.
|
20 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
