Matthew 4:18-22, New Living Translation
The First Disciples
18 One day as Jesus was walking along the shore beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—fishing with a net, for they were commercial fishermen.
19 Jesus called out to them, "Come, be my disciples, and I will show you how to fish for people!"
20 And they left their nets at once and went with him.
21 A little farther up the shore he saw two other brothers, James and John, sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, mending their nets. And he called them to come, too.
22 They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind.
