Calling the First Disciples

Free Bible Version (FBV)

Mat 4:18–22

18 As he was walking by the sea of Galilee Jesus saw two brothers. Simon, also called Peter, and his brother Andrew, were casting a net in the sea. They made their living by catching fish.
19 “Come and follow me, and I will teach you how to catch people,” he told them.
20 They left their nets immediately and followed him.
21 Continuing on he saw two other brothers, James and John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them to follow him.
22 They left the boat and their father immediately, and followed him.

16 As he was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they made their living by fishing.
17 “Come and follow me,” he told them, “and I will have you fishing for people.”
18 They left their nets at once and followed him.
19 He went a little farther and saw James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat mending their nets.
20 Immediately he called them to follow him, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired workers, and followed Jesus.
