Contextual Overview

14 And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the glad-message of God, 15 and saying- The season is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God hath drawn near, - Repent ye, and have faith in the glad-message. 16 And, passing by near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea, - for they were fishers; 17 and Jesus said unto them - Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men; 18 and, straightway, leaving the nets, they followed him. 19 And, going forward a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and them who were in the boat putting in order the nets; 20 and, straightway, he called them, - and, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat, with the hired men, they came away after him. 21 And they journey into Capernaum. And, straightway, on the Sabbath, entering into the synagogue, he began teaching; 22 and they were being struck with astonishment at his teaching, - for he was teaching them as one having authority, and, not as the Scribes.
