ℵB ⟨And as he passed along⟩
by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brotherℵB ⟨the brother of Simon⟩
casting a netℵB ⟨nets here and there⟩; A ⟨a net here and there⟩

22 Καὶ ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ· ἦν γὰρ διδάσκων αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐξουσίαν ἔχων, καὶ οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς.

Hold thy peace, and come out of him.25 Καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, λέγων,

45 Ὁ δὲ ἐξελθὼν ἤρξατο κηρύσσειν πολλὰ καὶ διαφημίζειν τὸν λόγον, ὥστε μηκέτι αὐτὸν δύνασθαι φανερῶς εἰς πόλιν εἰσελθεῖν, ἀλλ’
