18 Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon, who was called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 


19 And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of people.”


20 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. 


21 Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets; and He called them. 


22 Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
