Matteus 4,21

JamesJohnZebedee

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.

Da han gikk videre, så han to andre brødre, Jakob, sønn av Sebedeus, og hans bror Johannes, i båten med sin far Sebedeus, mens de bøtte garnene sine; og han kalte dem.

22 Straks forlot de båten og sin far, og fulgte ham.

23 Jesus gikk omkring i hele Galilea, underviste i deres synagoger, forkynte evangeliet om riket, og helbredet all sykdom og plage blant folket.
