Contextual Overview
14After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God. 15"The time is fulfilled," He said, "and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!" 16As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17"Come, follow Me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."18And at once they left their nets and followed Him. 19Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets. 20Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him. 21Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and as soon as the Sabbath began, Jesus entered the synagogue and began to teach. 22The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Jesus said unto them, come ye after me,.... Leave your worldly employments, and become my disciples,
and I will make you to become fishers of men: which will be a much more excellent and honourable employment, as men, and the souls of men, are more excellent, and of more worth than fishes;
