17. From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.
18. And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers;
19. and he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20. And they, having left their trawl-nets, immediately followed him.
21. And going on thence he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their trawl-nets, and he called them;
22. and they, having left the ship and their father, immediately followed him.
23. And Jesus went round the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.
