1:14-20
After John was arrested Jesus came into Galilee
proclaiming the gospel of God. He
was saying “The time has been fulfilled and the Kingdom of God
has drawn near. Repent and believe
in the gospel (good news).” And
passing along beside the sea of
Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into
the sea, for they were fishermen.
And Jesus said to them.
"Come after me and I will make you into fishers of
men." And immediately, leaving
the nets they followed him. And
going a little further he saw James the son of Zebedee
and John his brother, in the boat mending the nets. And he immediately called them. Leaving
their father Zebedee in the boat with the
hired servants they went after him (Jesus).

3:7-12 Jesus departed with his disciples to the sea and a great multitude of
people from Galilee
followed. They also came from Judea
and from Jerusalem and from Idumae and from beyond the Jordan
and from around Tyre
and Sidon. This great multitude, hearing what things
he was doing came to him. And he
(Jesus) told his disciples that a boat should be near him in case the crowd
should crush him. For he healed so
many that people were pushing against him so that they could touch
him. Many had diseases and unclean
spirits. When the latter saw him
they fell before him and cried out saying “You are the Son of God.” And he (Jesus) warned them that they were
not to make him known.
