Gill's Notes on the Bible
And going on from thence, he saw other two,.... When he had gone but a little way further, Mark 1:19 he spied two other persons he was looking for, and had designed to call to the office of apostleship; and these are also described as "brethren", and by name,
James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother. The Jews make mention in their writings h, of one ר יעקב בר זבדי, "R. James, the son of Zebedee": which Capellus i conjectures is the very same person here mentioned: but the James they speak of as a disciple of Jesus, they call יעקב ×ž×™× ××”, "James the heretic" k; who, they say, was of the village of Secaniah, and sometimes of the village of Sama. His brother's name was John, who was the Evangelist, as well as Apostle: these were
in a ship with Zebedee their father. Men of this name, and sons of men of this name, were very common among the Jewish Rabbins; but neither this man, nor his sons, were masters or doctors in Israel; for such Christ chose not for his apostles. It seems to be the same name with Zebadiah, 1 Chronicles 27:7 these, with him, were "mending their nets", which were broken, and needed repairing; and perhaps being poor, could not afford to buy new ones: this shows their industry and diligence, and may be a pattern and example to persons, closely to attend the business of their calling, whilst the providence of God continues them in it.
And he called them: from their employment, to follow him, and become his disciples; and no doubt gave them the same promise and encouragement he had given the two former.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And going on from thence - From the place where he had found Peter and Andrew, Matthew 4:18.
Saw two other brothers - They were men engaged in the same employment, as it is probable that there were many such in the neighborhood of the lake.
In a ship - A small vessel. In fact, it was little more, probably, than a sail-boat.
Mending their nets - A very common employment when they were not actually engaged in fishing.
