Jesus asks some men to be his disciples

¹⁴ Later, John was in prison. At that time, Jesus went to Galilee.^[a] He told people the good news about God. ¹⁵ Jesus said, ‘Now is the time when the kingdom of God has come very near. You have done many wrong things. Turn away from them and change the way that you live. Believe God's good news.’

¹⁶ One day, Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee. He saw two brothers called Simon and Andrew.^[b] Their job was to catch fish. They were throwing their nets into the lake to catch fish.
