Mark 1:16-22

16As he went along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen).

17Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will turn you into fishers of people.”

18They left their nets immediately and followed him.

19Going on a little farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother in their boat mending nets.

20Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.

21Then they went to Capernaum. When the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.

22The people there were amazed by his teaching, because he taught them like one who had authority, not like the experts in the law.
