Contextual Overview

¹⁴ Now after John had been put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news of God, ¹⁵ And saying, The time has come, and the kingdom of God is near: let your hearts be turned from sin and have faith in the good news. ¹⁶ And going by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, putting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen. ¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. ¹⁸ And they went straight from their nets, and came after him. ¹⁹ And going on a little farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were in their boat stitching up their nets. ²⁰ And he said, Come after me: and they went away from their father Zebedee, who was in the boat with the servants, and came after him. ²¹ And they came to Capernaum; and on the Sabbath he went into the Synagogue and gave teaching. ²² And they were full of wonder at his teaching, because he gave it as one having authority, and not like the scribes.
