13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake
in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali—14 to fulfill what was said through the
prophet Isaiah: 15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea,
along the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—16 the people living in darkness
have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a
light has dawned.” 17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for
the kingdom of heaven is near.”
18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers,
Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the
lake, for they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will
make you fishers of men.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee
and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee,
preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat
and their father and followed him. 23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching
in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing
every disease and sickness among the people.
