13 and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.
14 After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.
“The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
16 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
