Jesus Calls the First Disciples

^16 (A)Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. ¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become ^(B)fishers of men.”^{[a] 18} And immediately they left their nets and followed him. ¹⁹ And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. ²⁰ And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.

Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Spirit

^21 (C)And they went into Capernaum, and immediately ^(D)on the Sabbath ^(E)he entered the synagogue and was teaching. ²² And ^(F)they were astonished at his teaching, ^(G)for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
