Contextual Overview

14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the Good News from God. 15 He said, "The right time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Change your hearts and lives and believe the Good News!" 16 When Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the lake because they were fishermen. 17 Jesus said to them, "Come follow me, and I will make you fish for people." 18 So Simon and Andrew immediately left their nets and followed him. 19 Going a little farther, Jesus saw two more brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat, mending their nets. 20 Jesus immediately called them, and they left their father in the boat with the hired workers and followed Jesus. 21 Jesus and his followers went to Capernaum. On the Sabbath day He went to the synagogue and began to teach. 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught like a person who had authority, not like their teachers of the law.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Jesus said unto them, come ye after me,.... Leave your worldly employments, and become my disciples,

and I will make you to become fishers of men: which will be a much more excellent and honourable employment, as men, and the souls of men, are more excellent, and of more worth than fishes;
