“When #Jesus heard that John had been arrested,
he withdrew to Galilee.
… left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the sea
… From that time on, Jesus began to Preach and say,
‘Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.’

… walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw …
Simon … called Peter, and his brother Andrew,
casting a net ….
He said …
‘Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.’
… James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John.
… were in a boat …
He called them, and immediately they … followed Him. …”
