14. After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee and told people the Good News from God.
15. He said, “The right time is now here. God’s kingdom is very near. Change your hearts and lives, and believe the Good News!”
16. Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee. He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. These two men were fishermen, and they were throwing a net into the lake to catch fish.
17. Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me, and I will make you a different kind of fishermen. You will bring in people, not fish.”
18. So they immediately left their nets and followed Jesus.
19. Jesus continued walking by Lake Galilee. He saw two more brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in their boat, preparing their nets to catch fish.
20. Their father Zebedee and the men who worked for him were in the boat with the brothers. When Jesus saw the brothers, he told them to come. They left their father and followed Jesus.
