Mark 1:16-22

16One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living.

17Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”

18And they left their nets at once and followed him.

19A little farther up the shore Jesus saw Zebedee’s sons, James and John, in a boat repairing their nets.

20He called them at once, and they also followed him, leaving their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired men.

21Jesus and his companions went to the town of Capernaum. When the Sabbath day came, he went into the synagogue and began to teach.

22The people were amazed at his teaching, for he taught with real authority—quite unlike the teachers of religious law.
