Matthew 4_18-22

Jesus Calls the First Disciples


Mat 4:18  As Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and Simon's brother Andrew. These brothers were fishermen, and they were fishing in the lake with a net. 


Mat 4:19  Jesus said to them, "Come, follow me, and I will make you a different kind of fishermen. You will bring in people, not fish." 


Mat 4:20  Simon and Andrew immediately left their nets and followed him. 


Mat 4:21  Jesus continued walking by Lake Galilee. He saw two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee. They were preparing their nets to catch fish. Jesus told the brothers to come with him. 


Mat 4:22  So they immediately left the boat and their father, and they followed Jesus.
