    will start catching people.'” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
  • Uma: “Also terrified were Yakobus and Yohanes, the two children of Zebedeus who worked with Simon. From there, Yesus said saying to Simon: ‘Do not be afraid. Beginning now, you (sing.) will no longer fish. I give you (sing.) new work: teaching people to become my followers.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)

  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Others who were really surprised there were the sons of Zebedee, James and John, the companions of Simon in fishing. And Jesus said to Simon, he said, ‘Don’t be afraid. You are a netter for fish; but starting today the thing I will give you to do is to look for people so that they might be my disciples.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “And likewise also Simon’s partners Santiago and Juan the children of Zebedeo. Then Jesus said to Simon, ‘Don’t (sing.) be afraid, because starting today, you (sing.) will not be netting fish but rather you (sing.) will persuade people.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)

For from now on, I will make you (sing.) that it’s people whom you will as-it-were catch/hunt/fish-for.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
