Matthew 4:16-25

16 the people who sat in darkness saw great light, and to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand.
18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers.
19 And he said unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets and followed him.
21 And going on from there, he saw another two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.
22 And they immediately left the ship and their father and followed him.
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every sickness and every bodily weakness among the people.
24 And his fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with diverse diseases and torments and those who were possessed with devils and those who were lunatic and those that were paralyzed; and he healed them.
25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, from Decapolis, from Jerusalem, from Judaea and from beyond Jordan.
