Mark 1:17

The First Disciples

16As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.17“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”18And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
