Mark 1:14-20

The Voice

¹⁴ After John was arrested by Herod, who ruled the Jewish lands on behalf of Roman interests, Jesus went back into the region of Galilee and began to proclaim the good news of God.

¹⁶ As Jesus walked along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, He met the first of His disciples, two brothers, Simon and Andrew, both fishermen who were casting their fishing net into the shallow waters.

¹⁸ Simon and Andrew left their nets and followed Jesus at once.

¹⁹ When He had walked a little farther, He saw the sons of Zebedee, James and John, in their boat repairing their nets. ²⁰ Right away He called to them, and they dropped what they were doing and left their father Zebedee and the hired men aboard the boat to follow Him as His disciples.
