  • Mark Study Notes—Chapter 1
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 1:20

      with the hired men: Only Mark mentions that the fishing business of Zebedee and his sons had “hired men.” Peter, who was evidently a partner in the business and an eyewitness to most of what Mark recorded, may have been the source of this information. (Lu 5:5-11; see also “Introduction to Mark.”) That Zebedee and his sons hired men and, according to Luke’s account, had more than one boat indicates that their business was doing well.​—See study note on Mt 4:18.
