12 Straight away God's Spirit made Jesus go into the desert.
13 He stayed there for forty days while Satan tested him. Jesus was with the wild animals, but angels took care of him.
14 After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee and told the good news that comes from God.
15 He said, “The time has come! God's kingdom will soon be here. Turn back to God and believe the good news!”
16 As Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were fishermen and were casting their nets into the lake.
17 Jesus said to them, “Come with me! I will teach you how to bring in people instead of fish.”
18 At once the two brothers dropped their nets and went with him.
