Mark 1:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible

16 One day, Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee. He saw two brothers called Simon and Andrew.[a] Their job was to catch fish. They were throwing their nets into the lake to catch fish. 17 Jesus said to them, ‘Come with me and be my disciples. Then I will teach you how to catch people, instead of fish.’[b] 18 Simon and Andrew immediately put down their nets and they went with Jesus.[c]

  3. 1:18 Simon and his brother lived in a town called Capernaum. This town is on the shore of Lake Galilee.
