Matthew 4:18-22

GOD’S WORD Translation

Calling of the First Disciples^(A)

¹⁸ As he was walking along the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and Andrew. They were throwing a net into the sea because they were fishermen. ¹⁹ Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me! I will teach you how to catch people instead of fish.” ²⁰ They immediately left their nets and followed him.

²¹ As Jesus went on, he saw two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee preparing their nets to go fishing. He called them, ²² and they immediately left the boat and their father and followed Jesus.
