The verses around it, from Mark 1.
16 As 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.”
18 And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets.

21 Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and right away Jesus entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.
22 The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

24 “What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
