Context of Mark 1:19
17Jesus said to them, ‘Come with me and be my disciples. Then I will teach you how to catch people, instead of fish.’ 18Simon and Andrew immediately put down their nets and they went with Jesus. Jesus continued to walk along the shore. Soon he saw two more men who were brothers. They were called James and John. They were the sons of Zebedee. They were in their boat and they were mending their nets. 20Immediately, Jesus asked them to come with him. They left their father and his workers in the boat, and they went with Jesus to be his disciples. 21Then Jesus and those disciples went into a town called Capernaum. On the next Jewish day of rest, Jesus went into the Jews' meeting place. He began to teach the people there.
