14. After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee and told the good news that comes from God.
15. He said, “The time has come! God's kingdom will soon be here. Turn back to God and believe the good news!”
16. As Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were fishermen and were casting their nets into the lake.
17. Jesus said to them, “Come with me! I will teach you how to bring in people instead of fish.”
18. At once the two brothers dropped their nets and went with him.
19. Jesus walked on and soon saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat, mending their nets.
20. At once Jesus asked them to come with him. They left their father in the boat with the hired workers and went with him.
21. Jesus and his disciples went to the town of Capernaum. Then on the next Sabbath he went into the Jewish meeting place and started teaching.
22. Everyone was amazed at his teaching. He taught with authority, and not like the teachers of the Law of Moses.
23. Suddenly a man with an evil spirit in him entered the meeting place and yelled,
24. “Jesus from Nazareth, what do you want with us? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are! You are God's Holy One.”
25. Jesus told the evil spirit, “Be quiet and come out of the man!”
