- 18 And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers).
- 19 And he saith to them: Come ye after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men.
- 20 And they immediately leaving their nets, followed him.
- 21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and he called them.
- 22 And they forthwith left their nets and father, and followed him.
