Contextual Overview

14 And after John had been taken into custody, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the gospel!" 16 And as he was passing by along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen). 17 And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you become fishers of people." 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and his brother John, and they were in the boat mending the nets. 20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and went away after him. 21 And they went into Capernaum and immediately on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue. 22 And they were amazed at his teaching, because he was teaching them like one who had authority, and not like the scribes.
