WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[16] Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen. [17] Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men." [18] Immediately they left their nets, and followed him. [19] Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets. [20] Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
