Contextual Overview

14 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 Saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 16 And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, 17 casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers) And Jesus said to them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men. 18 And straightway leaving their nets, they followed him. And having gone thence a little farther, 19 he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were also in the vessel, mending their nets: 20 And he called them; and immediately leaving their father Zebedee in the vessel with the hired servants, they went after him. 21 And they go into Capernaum. And straightway on the sabbath, he went into the synagogue and taught. 22 And they were astonished at his teaching; for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
