Matthew 4:17-22
New American Standard Bible
17 (A)From that time Jesus began to [a]preach and say, “(B)Repent, for the kingdom of heaven [b]is at hand.”
The First Disciples
18 (C)Now as Jesus was walking by (D)the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, (E)Simon, who was called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 And He *said to them, “[c]Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of people.” 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. 21 Going on from there He saw two other brothers, [d](F)James the son of Zebedee, and his brother [e]John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets; and He called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
