16. The people who live in spiritual darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined for those who live in the land that is as dark as a grave.” Isaiah 9:1-2
17. From that time Jesus began to tell people his message: “Change your hearts and lives, because God’s kingdom is now very near.”
18. As Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and Simon’s brother Andrew. These brothers were fishermen, and they were fishing in the lake with a net.
19. Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me, and I will make you a different kind of fishermen. You will bring in people, not fish.”
20. Simon and Andrew immediately left their nets and followed him.
