¹⁶ Passing along the beach of Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew net-fishing. Fishing was their regular work. ¹⁷ Jesus said to them, "Come with me. I'll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I'll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass." ¹⁸ They didn't ask questions. They dropped their nets and followed. ¹⁹ A dozen yards or so down the beach, he saw the brothers James and John, Zebedee's sons. They were in the boat, mending their fishnets. ²⁰ Right off, he made the same offer. Immediately, they left their father Zebedee, the boat, and the hired hands, and followed.
