Context of Mark 1:19
17Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will turn you into fishers of people.” 18They left their nets immediately and followed him. Going 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.
