Mark 1:16-20
Mark 1:16-20 NKJV 16 And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 17 Then Jesus said to them, “ Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men. ” 18 They immediately left their nets and followed Him. 19 When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets. 20 And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him. It’s obvious that Mark did not sit under an IEW tutor to gain writing skills. 😊 He doesn’t add dress-ups or -ly words. He just gives the basic facts, ma’am. Luke, however, provides more context ( Luke 5:1-11 ) and I’m glad he does. It would seem strange for grown men to follow another man only because He walked up to them and said, “Follow me.” Luke tells us a large group of people has come to hear Jesus preach as He stands
