Mark 1:16

Verse 16 of 45. The 1st of 16 chapters in Mark, in The Gospels.

12Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.

13He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.

14Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,

15and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”

16Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

17Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”

18Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.

19Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

20Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
