Jesus Preaches in Galilee

¹⁴ Now after John was ^[a]taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, ^[b]preaching the gospel of God, ¹⁵ and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God ^[c]is at hand; repent and ^[d]believe in the gospel.”

¹⁶ As He was going along the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen. ¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will have you become fishers of people.” ¹⁸ Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. ¹⁹ And going on a little farther, He saw ^[e]James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John, ^[f]who were also in the boat mending the nets. ²⁰ Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and went away ^[g]to follow Him.
