Mark 1:16-20
New Living Translation
The First Disciples
16 One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon[a] and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. 17 Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” 18 And they left their nets at once and followed him.
19 A little farther up the shore Jesus saw Zebedee’s sons, James and John, in a boat repairing their nets. 20 He called them at once, and they also followed him, leaving their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired men.

Jesus Calls His First Disciples
16 And as he[a] was passing by along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting a net[b] into the sea (for they were fishermen). 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow[c] me and I will make you become fishers of people.” 18 And immediately they left their nets and[d] followed him. 19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and his brother John, and they were in the boat mending the nets. 20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and[e] went away after him.
