16. And walking by the Sea of Galil, He saw Shim‛on, and Andri his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers.
17. And יהושע said to them, “Come, follow Me, and I shall make you become fishers of men.”
18. And immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19. And having gone on a little from there, He saw Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Zaḇdai, and Yoḥanan his brother, and they were in the boat mending their nets.
20. And immediately He called them, and leaving their father Zaḇdai in the boat with the hired servants, they went after Him.
21. And they went into Kephar Naḥum, and immediately on the Sabbath He went into the congregation and taught.
22. And they were astonished at His teaching, for He was teaching them as possessing authority, and not as the scribes.
23. And there was a man in their congregation with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24. saying, “Ha! What have we to do with You, יהושע of Natsareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are: the Set-apart One of Elohim!”
25. And יהושע rebuked him, saying, “Be silenced, and come out of him!”
26. And throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit called out with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27. And they were all so amazed, as to reason among themselves, saying, “What is this, a fresh teaching? With authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28. And news about Him immediately spread into all the country around Galil.
29. And coming out of the congregation, they went straight to the house of Shim‛on and Andri, with Ya‛aqoḇ and Yoḥanan.
