Mark 1:18 In-Context

16 One day, passing along the shore of the Lake of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, throwing their nets in the Lake; for they were fisherman.

17 "Come and follow me," said Jesus, "and I will make you fishers for men."

18 At once they left their nets and followed Him.

19 Going on a little further He saw James the son of Zabdi and his brother John: they also were in the boat mending the nets, and He immediately called them.

20 They therefore left their father Zabdi in the boat with the hired men, and went and followed Him.
