Mark 1:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

Jesus Chooses Some Followers^(A)

¹⁶ Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee. He saw Simon^[a] and his brother Andrew. These two men were fishermen, and they were throwing a net into the lake to catch fish. ¹⁷ Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me, and I will make you a different kind of fishermen. You will bring in people, not fish.” ¹⁸ So they immediately left their nets and followed Jesus.
