Mark tells THE (Real Ruler's) good-news. Chapter 1 [Pericopae 4&5]


Pericope 4 - Heralding the Emperor throughout Galilee, & 


Pericope 5 - four disciples are called


Then Jesus came into "the Galilee"
while heralding the news of who's The Boss:
(that's after John was put in custody)
“It's God” he said, & he's not at a loss,

“in fact..”, his message was “..the time's fulfilled!
For God's reign is just now, right at the door;
check your allegiance (your agendas will
not do), if you would trust this news some more.”


And passing by the Sea of Galilee,
he saw one Simon, and his bro. Andrew
both casting nets into this (inland) sea,
for they were fishers (that's what work they'd do)..

And Jesus said to them “Come, follow me,
and I will make you able to catch folk 
(the biggest game), they left work straightaway
and followed after him (this Jesus bloke).

And having gone a little farther on, 
he saw young James O'Zebedee, & John
his brother, in the boat with nets bereft,
preparing them, and straightaway they left

(upon his call), their father in the boat
with hired men, and followed after him.
(So now he's followed by four who will float
around about their Rabi, on his whim.)


14Μετὰ δὲ τὸ παραδοθῆναι τὸν Ἰωάννην ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν κηρύσσων τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ θεοῦ 15καὶ λέγων ὅτι πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρὸς καὶ ἤγγικεν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ· μετανοεῖτε καὶ πιστεύετε ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ. Mark 1:14-15 NA28
16Καὶ παράγων παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶδεν Σίμωνα καὶ Ἀνδρέαν τὸν ἀδελφὸν Σίμωνος ἀμφιβάλλοντας ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ· ἦσαν γὰρ ἁλιεῖς. 17καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου, καὶ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς γενέσθαι ἁλιεῖς ἀνθρώπων. 18καὶ εὐθὺς ἀφέντες τὰ δίκτυα ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ. 19Καὶ προβὰς ὀλίγον εἶδεν Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ καταρτίζοντας τὰ δίκτυα, 20καὶ εὐθὺς ἐκάλεσεν αὐτούς. καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν Ζεβεδαῖον ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ μετὰ τῶν μισθωτῶν ἀπῆλθον ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ. Mark 1:16-20 NA28

Q: What was Jesus' actual method of fishing?
