This is a very complex Gospel. There is way more within this that we simple readers of the Bible can surmise. Hang in there and Dr. Brant Pitre will open this up.
When
Jesus heard that John had been arrested,
he
withdrew to Galilee.
He
left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the sea,
in
the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
that
what had been said through Isaiah the prophet
might
be fulfilled:
Land
of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
the
way to the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee
of the Gentiles,
the
people who sit in darkness have seen a great light,
on
those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death
light
has arisen.
From
that time on, Jesus began to preach and say,
“Repent,
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
As he
was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers,
Simon
who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew,
casting
a net into the sea; they were fishermen.
He
said to them,
“Come
after me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
At
once they left their nets and followed him.
He
walked along from there and saw two other brothers,
James,
the son of Zebedee, and his brother John.
They
were in a boat, with their father Zebedee, mending their nets.
He
called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father
and
followed him.
He went
around all of Galilee,
teaching
in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom,
and
curing every disease and illness among the people.
~Mt
4:12-23
First, enjoy a dramatization of the
passage. It will make it much more
visual.
Dr. Brant Pitre explains it thoroughly. It again takes two videos.
“Come after me, and I will make you fishers
of men.”
