Exegesis
The predicate nominative halieis {ἁλιεῖς | ha-li-eîs} is modified by the genitive anthrōpōn {ἀνθρώπων | an-thrṓ-pōn}, a genitive of object indicating the ones to be “caught” or reached. The English renderings preserve the imperative-plus-promise structure, using “come after Me” or “come, follow Me” to reflect the relational following and “fishers of men/people” to maintain the metaphor while making the object explicit.
