And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful.

And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

As He was going along the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.

Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and went away to follow Him.

They went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and began to teach.

And they were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

And they were all amazed, so they debated among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him."

And immediately after they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and they immediately spoke to Jesus about her.

And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and were glorifying God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

And it happened that He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him.

When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, "Why is He eating with tax collectors and sinners?"

John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and they came and said to Him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"
