Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his
brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And Jesus
said unto them:

"Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."

And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of
Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their
nets. And straightway he called them: and they left their father
Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he
entered into the synagogue, and taught. And they were astonished at

And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were
diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. And all the city
was gathered together at the door. And he healed many that were sick
of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out,
and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. And Simon and
