Mark 1:18 In-Context

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.

17 And Jesus said unto them, "Come ye after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."

18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed Him.

19 And when He had gone a little farther thence, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.

20 And straightway He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.
