Simon and Andrew immediately left their nets and followed Jesus. And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him - Mark 1:16-18. James and John who were in their boat mending the nets, left their father Zebedee and the boat immediately and followed Jesus.

He called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him - Matthew 4:21,22.
Let us leave everything behind and follow Jesus. Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men - Matthew 4:19. Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you!
