SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:16–20: Jesus chose his first four disciples

The previous section indicated that Jesus went to Galilee and was preaching in various places in that region. This section describes two events that happened near Lake Galilee during that time.

The Notes has two paragraphs for these events. In 1:16–18 Jesus chose his first two disciples. In 1:19–20 he chose his next two disciples. In some languages it may be more natural to tell about these two events in one paragraph. Make natural paragraphs for your language.

For information on the word “disciples,” see the note in 2:15b.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other ideas for section headings:

Jesus’ first disciples

Jesus chose his first disciples

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 4:18–22 and Luke 5:1–11.

1:18

And at once they left their nets and followed Him.

Right away, they left their nets and they followed him.
Immediately, they^(dual) stopped their work of catching fish and became his disciples.

And at once: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as And at once introduces an important and surprising event in the story. See the note in 1:10 and 1:12. It also indicates that this event is the next thing that happened. Simon and Andrew obeyed Jesus without delay.

they left their nets and followed Him: The phrase they left their nets implies here that Simon and Andrew left their work as fishermen. They left their fishing work in order to become Jesus’ disciples.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

ἀφέντες τὰ δίκτυα

˓having˒_left (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εὐθέως ἀφέντες τά δίκτυα ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ)

See how you expressed the idea of “net-casting” in 1:16. Alternate translation: [having stopped fishing]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ

˱they˲_followed ˱after˲_him

Here, the phrase they followed him indicates that they traveled with Jesus and were his disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they became his disciples] or [they traveled with him as his students]
