Mark 1

   14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news* of God,* 15and saying, ¡®The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near;* repent, and believe in the good news.¡¯*

16 As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake?for they were fishermen. 17And Jesus said to them, ¡®Follow me and I will make you fish for people.¡¯ 18And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.

    Matthew 4

   12 Now when Jesus* heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. 13He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum by the lake, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
15 ¡®Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali, on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles?
16 the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.¡¯
17 From that time Jesus began to proclaim, ¡®Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.¡¯*
18 As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake?for they were fishermen. 19And he said to them, ¡®Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.¡¯ 20Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. 22Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.

    Luke 5

1 Once while Jesus* was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God,
2 he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ¡®Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.¡¯
5 Simon answered, ¡®Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.¡¯
6When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break.
7 So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus¡¯ knees, saying, ¡®Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!¡¯
9 For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken;
10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, ¡®Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.¡¯
11 When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.

    John 1

   35 The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, ¡®Look, here is the Lamb of God!¡¯ 37The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, ¡®What are you looking for?¡¯ They said to him, ¡®Rabbi¡¯ (which translated means Teacher), ¡®where are you staying?¡¯ 39He said to them, ¡®Come and see.¡¯ They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o¡¯clock in the afternoon. 40One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter¡¯s brother. 41He first found his brother Simon and said to him, ¡®We have found the Messiah¡¯ (which is translated Anointed*). 42He brought Simon* to Jesus, who looked at him and said, ¡®You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas¡¯ (which is translated Peter*).
43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, ¡®Follow me.¡¯ 44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45Philip found Nathanael and said to him, ¡®We have found him about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.¡¯ 46Nathanael said to him, ¡®Can anything good come out of Nazareth?¡¯ Philip said to him, ¡®Come and see.¡¯ 47When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said of him, ¡®Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!¡¯ 48Nathanael asked him, ¡®Where did you come to know me?¡¯ Jesus answered, ¡®I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you.¡¯ 49Nathanael replied, ¡®Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!¡¯ 50Jesus answered, ¡®Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.¡¯ 51And he said to him, ¡®Very truly, I tell you,* you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.¡¯
