translationNotes

• This continues the account of the beginning of Jesus' ministry in Galilee.
• **they were mending their nets ** - "They" might include the two brothers and Zebedee, or just the two brothers.
• He called them, - "Jesus called John and James." This phrase also means that Jesus invited them to follow him, live with him, and become his disciples.
• **immediately ** - "at that moment"
• left the boat … and followed him - It should be clear that this is a life change. These men are no longer going to be fishermen and are leaving the family business to follow Jesus for the rest of their lives.
