King James Bible
"And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them."
Jesus continues his journey along the Sea of Galilee after calling Peter and Andrew, now encountering another pair of brothers. The detailed identification emphasizes these are real people from a known family, with James and John later becoming part of Jesus' inner circle of disciples. Unlike Peter and Andrew who were actively fishing, these brothers are engaged in maintenance work alongside their father, suggesting a family fishing business. The mundane task of net repair highlights that Jesus calls people from their ordinary occupations. The brevity of this phrase mirrors the earlier call of Peter and Andrew, emphasizing Jesus' authority and the immediacy of divine calling. No recorded words or lengthy persuasion—just a summons that demands response.
