Read in context

Matthew 4:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

19 “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

20 And at once they left their nets and followed Him.

21 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. Jesus called them,

22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.
