Mark 1:16-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea (for they were fishermen).

¹⁷ And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

¹⁸ And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.

¹⁹ And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship:

²⁰ And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him.

²¹ And they entered into Capharnaum, and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them.

²² And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes.
