Mark 1:18

Following JesusObedience

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.”

And at once they left their nets and followed Him.

19 Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets.

20 Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.
