Marc 1:19 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 1:19

And when he had gone a little further thence
From the place where Simon and Andrew were casting their nets, though still by the sea side;

he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother.
The former was be whom afterwards Herod killed with the sword, and the latter the beloved disciple; these were also fishermen:

who also were in the ship mending their nets:
as the other two disciples were on board the ship, casting their nets into the sea to catch fish; these were also in a ship, repairing their nets, in order to use them the same way, and for the same purpose; (See Gill on Matthew 4:21).

Marc 1:19 In-Context

17 Jésus leur dit: Suivez-moi, et je vous ferai pêcheurs d'hommes.

18 Aussitôt, ils laissèrent leurs filets, et le suivirent.

19 Etant allé un peu plus loin, il vit Jacques, fils de Zébédée, et Jean, son frère, qui, eux aussi, étaient dans une barque et réparaient les filets.

20 Aussitôt, il les appela; et, laissant leur père Zébédée dans la barque avec les ouvriers, ils le suivirent.

21 Ils se rendirent à Capernaüm. Et, le jour du sabbat, Jésus entra d'abord dans la synagogue, et il enseigna.
