Mark 1:16-20

16As he was going along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a net into the sea because they were fishermen.

17Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me! I will teach you how to catch people instead of fish.”

18They immediately left their nets and followed him.

19As Jesus went on a little farther, he saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat preparing their nets ⌞to go fishing⌟.

20He immediately called them, and they left their father Zebedee and the hired men in the boat and followed Jesus.
