Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”

And they left their nets at once and followed him.

A little farther up the shore he saw two other brothers, James and John, sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them to come, too.

They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind.
