Contextual Overview
14 And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 and saying, The time has been fulfilled, and the kingdom of God draws near. Repent and believe in the gospel. 16 And walking along beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a small net in the sea; for they were fishers. 17 And Jesus said to them, Come after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 18 And leaving their nets, they immediately followed Him. 19 And going forward from there a little, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. And they were in the boat mending the nets. 20 And at once He called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went after Him. 21 And they passed along into Capernaum. And entering into the synagogue, at once He taught on the sabbaths. 22 And they were astounded at His doctrine, for He was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

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;
