Matthew 4:18-25

181Now as Jesus was walking by 2the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, 3Simon, who was called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19And He said to them, “4Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of people.” 20Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. 21Going on from there He saw two other brothers, 56James the son of Zebedee, and his brother 7John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets; and He called them. 22Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

23Jesus was going 8about in all of Galilee, 9teaching in their synagogues and 10proclaiming the 11gospel of the kingdom, and 12healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

24And the news about Him spread 13throughout Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and severe pain, 14demon-possessed, people with 15epilepsy, and people who were 16paralyzed; and He healed them. 25Large crowds 17followed Him from Galilee and 18the Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from 19beyond the Jordan.
