THE CALLING OF THE FIRST DISCIPLES

Matthew 4:18-22

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee,

He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter

And his brother Andrew.

They were casting a net into the lake,

For they were fishermen.

19 'COME FOLLOW ME.' Jesus said,

AND I WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF MEN.'

20 AT ONCE THEY LEFT THEIR NETS AND FOLLOWED HIM.

21 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers,

James son of Zebedee and his brother John.

They were in a boat with their father Zebedee,

Preparing their nets.

JESUS CALLED THEM,

22 AND IMMEDIATELY THEY LEFT THE BOAT

AND THEIR FATHER AND FOLLOWED HIM.

Today, every Christian is a Fisher of Men.

That is the purpose of this Life Christ has given us;

Bearing Fruit for His Kingdom.

We are His Witnesses.
