In context

14 After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.

15 “The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”

16 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

17 “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

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

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

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