Matthew 4:13–22

¹³And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, ¹⁴that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

¹⁵“The ^mland of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,

By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,

Galilee of the Gentiles:

¹⁶ⁿThe people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,

And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death

Light has dawned.”

^17oFrom that time Jesus began to preach and to say, ^p“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven ³is at hand.”

Jesus Calls His First Disciples

Mark 1:16–20

^18qAnd Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon ^rcalled Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. ¹⁹Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and ^sI will make you fishers of men.” ^20tThey immediately left their nets and followed Him.

^21uGoing on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, ²²and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
