Matthew 4:12-22 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

12. Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee;

13. and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:

14. that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,

15. The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

16. The people which sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to them which sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up.

17. From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

18. And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers.

19. And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

20. And they straightway left the nets, and followed him.

21. And going on from thence he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

22. And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him.
