A READING FROM THE GOSPEL OF JESUS ACCORDING TO MARK. (FIRST READER ONLY)

AS JESUS PASSED BY THE SEA OF GALILEE/

HE SAW SIMON AND HIS BROTHER ANDREW CASTING THEIR NETS INTO THE SEA./

JESUS SAID TO THEM, 'COME FOLLOW ME AND I WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF PEOPLE."/

THEY ABANDONED THEIR NETS AND FOLLOWED HIM./

HE WALKED A LITTLE FURTHER AND SAW JAMES AND HIS BROTHER JOHN./

THEY TOO WERE IN A BOAT MENDING THEIR NETS./

THEN HE CALLED THEM.

THEY LEFT THEIR FATHER, ZEBEDEE, IN THE BOAT

ALONG WITH THE HIRED MEN, AND FOLLOWED HIM./
