Matteus 4,18

AndrewJesusSimonSea of Galilee

16 folket som bor i mørket har sett et stort lys; over dem som bor i dødsskyggens land, har et lys gått opp.»

17 Fra den tid begynte Jesus å forkynne: «Omvend dere, for himmelriket er nær.»

Mens Jesus vandret langs Galileasjøen, så han to brødre, Simon som kalles Peter, og hans bror Andreas. De kastet et garn i sjøen, for de var fiskere.

19 Og Jesus sa til dem: «Kom, følg meg, så vil jeg gjøre dere til menneskefiskere.»

20 Straks forlot de garnene sine og fulgte ham.
