Contextual Overview
14 Now after Yochanan was taken into custody, Yeshua came into the Galil, preaching the Good News of the kingdom of God, 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News." 16 Passing along by the sea of the Galil, he saw Shim`on and Andrai the brother of Shim`on casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen. 17 Yeshua said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men." 18 Immediately they left their nets, and followed him. 19 Going on a little further from there, he saw Ya`akov the son of Zavdai, and Yochanan, his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets. 20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zavdai, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him. 21 They went into Kafar-Nachum, and immediately on the day of Shabbat he entered into the synagogue and taught. 22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the Sofrim.

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;
