Scriptural Reference:
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. 'Come, follow me,' Jesus said, 'and I
will make you fishers of men.' At once they left their nets and followed
him. 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, and immediately they left the
boat and their father and followed him." Matthew 4:18-22 "As Jesus went
on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's
booth. "Follow me," he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him."
Matthew 9:9
