Calling the First Disciples

King James Bible (KJV)

Mat 4:18–22

  1. 18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
  2. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
  3. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
  4. 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.
  5. 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

Mrk 1:16–20

  1. 16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
  2. 17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
  3. 18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
  4. 19 And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
  5. 20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
