16 As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother (that is, Simon's brother) casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.

17 Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
And Jesus said to them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 So they immediately left their nets and followed him.
And immediately they forsook their nets, and followed him.
19 Going on a little farther from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother as they were in the boat mending their nets.
And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.

Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!”

35 Early the next morning, while it was still very dark, Jesus rose and departed. He went off to a desolate place and prayed there.
And in the morning, rising a great while before day, he went out and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 Simon and his companions searched diligently for him,

37 and when they found him, they said to him, “Everyone is looking for yoʋ.”

38 Jesus said to them, “Let us go into the neighboring towns so that I may preach there also, for that is why I have come.”

41 Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand, touched the man, and said to him, “I am willing; be made clean.”
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth [his] hand, and touched him, and saith to him, I will; be thou clean.
42 When he said this, the leprosy immediately departed from the man, and he was made clean.
And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Then Jesus sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,
And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
44 saying to him, “Be sure not to say anything to anyone, but go show yoʋrself to the priest and offer for yoʋr cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
And saith to him, See thou say nothing to any man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
45 But the man went out and began to proclaim it widely and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places. Yet people were coming to him from everywhere.
But he went out, and began to publish [it] much, and to blaze abroad the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
