¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become ^(A)fishers of men.”^[a]

¹⁰ and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”^[a]

¹⁹ And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you ^(A)fishers of men.”^{[a] 20} Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

³⁸ And Peter said to them, ^(A)“Repent and ^(B)be baptized every one of you ^(C)in the name of Jesus Christ ^(D)for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive ^(E)the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For ^(F)the promise is for you and ^(G)for your children and for all ^(H)who are far off, everyone ^(I)whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” ⁴⁰ And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, ^(J)“Save yourselves from this ^(K)crooked generation.” ⁴¹ So those who received his word were baptized, and ^(L)there were added that day about three thousand souls.

¹⁰ Fishermen will stand beside the sea. From ^(A)Engedi to ^(B)Eneglaim it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of ^(C)the Great Sea.^[a]
