18 As he walked beside Lake Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (later nicknamed Peter) and Andrew, throwing their net into the sea because they were fishermen. 19 “Come and follow me,” Yeshua told them, “and I’ll make you fishers of people.” 20 So they left their nets immediately and followed after him.

21 Going on a bit further, he saw two other brothers, Yacob and Yohan, in the boat getting their nets ready along with their father Zebedee, and Yeshua also called the two of them. 22 So they too immediately left the boat and their father and followed after him.

5 [ref]One time when the crowd was pressuring Yeshua that they wanted to hear God’s message as he stood by Lake Galilee, 2 he saw two boats at the edge of the water, but the fishermen had left the boats so they could wash their nets. 3 Yeshua hopped into one of the boats which turned out to be Simon’s, and asked him just to row out a little way from the land. Then Yeshua sat there in the boat and taught the crowds from there.

4 Once he’d finished his speaking, he told Simon, “Go out to the deeper parts and lower your nets to catch some fish.”

5 [ref]“Master,” Simon answered, “we worked all through the night and didn’t catch anything, but ok, I’ll do what you say and lower the nets.” 6 [ref]When they lowered the nets, they quickly netted a huge catch of fish, so much so that their nets began to rip 7 and they had to signal to their companions in the other boat to come and help. When they got there, they filled both boats with so many fish that the weight began to sink them. 8 When Simon Peter had a moment to realise what had just happened, he knelt in the boat in front of Yeshua and said, “You must leave me, master, because I’m just a sinful man.”

9 Peter and all those with him were stunned at the size of the catch. 10 This included Yacob and Yohan (Zebedee’s sons) who were his fishing partners.

11 When they got the boats up onto the shore, they left everything there and followed after Yeshua.
