Mark 1:17-21 Common English Bible (CEB)

17. "Come, follow me," he said, "and I’ll show you how to fish for people."

18. Right away, they left their nets and followed him.

19. After going a little farther, he saw James and John, Zebedee’s sons, in their boat repairing the fishing nets.

20. At that very moment he called them. They followed him, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired workers.

21. Jesus and his followers went into Capernaum. Immediately on the Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and started teaching.
