Mark 1:17
And Jesus said unto them, come ye after me
Leave your worldly employments, and become my disciples,
and I will make you to become fishers of men:
which will be a much more excellent and honourable employment, as
men, and the souls of men, are more excellent, and of more worth
than fishes; (See Gill on Matthew
4:19).
