The call of the fishermen
“Come, follow Me”
By the Sea of Galilee, Jesus calls Peter, Andrew, James and John: “Come, follow Me,” He says, “and I will make you fishers of men.” Leaving their nets and boat, they follow Him, the beginning of a life that would change the world (Mark 1:16–20).
“Come, follow Me”
By the Sea of Galilee, Jesus calls Peter, Andrew, James and John in the middle of their workday. 'I will make you fishers of men'.
They left everything on the spot
The text stresses 'at once': they left their nets, their boat and even their father. Jesus' call reorders priorities in an instant.
