Mark 1:16

Mark 1:16-20

¹⁶And passing along by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen. ¹⁷And Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of people.” ¹⁸And at once they left the nets and followed him. ¹⁹And going on a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets. ²⁰And at once he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, they went away after him.

Matthew 4:18-22

¹⁸And walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. ¹⁹And he says to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of people.” ²⁰And they at once left the nets and followed him. ²¹And going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. ²²And they at once left the boat and their father and followed him.

Luke 5:1-11

¹Now it happened, while the crowd was pressing in on him and listening to the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, ²and he saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing the nets. ³And getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land; and sitting down, he was teaching the crowds from the boat. ⁴And when he had stopped speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.” ⁵And Simon answered and said, “Master, through the whole night we worked hard and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the nets.” ⁶And when they had done this, they enclosed a great number of fish, and their nets were tearing. ⁷And they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; and they came and filled both the boats, so that they were sinking. ⁸But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.” ⁹For amazement had seized him and all those with him at the catch of fish that they had taken, ¹⁰and likewise also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.” ¹¹And when they had brought the boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
