Matthew 4:15-20 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

15. “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, toward the sea, on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—

16. the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, and the ones who sit in the land and shadow of death, a light has dawned on them.”

17. From that time on, Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven is near.”

18. Now as he was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew, throwing a casting net into the sea (for they were fishermen).

19. And he said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fishers of people.”

20. And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
