CHAPTER 22

FOUR DISCIPLES WILL BE FISHERS OF MEN

 JESUS CALLS DISCIPLES TO FOLLOW HIM FULL - TIME


 FISHERMEN BECOME FISHERS OF MEN

After the people of Nazareth try to take Jesus’ life, he moves to the city of
Capernaum, near the Sea of Galilee, also called the lake of Gennesaret. this
fulfills the prophecy in the book of Isaiah that people pof Galilee dwelling by
the sea would see a great light.

Yes, here in Galilee, Jesus continues to announce that the kingdom of the
heavens has drawn near. Jesus finds four of his disciples. They had traveled
with him earlier, but upon returning with Jesus from Judea, they resumed
their fishing business. Now, though, it is time to be with Jesus contantly so that
he can train them to carry on the ministry after he is gone.
As Jesus walks along the seashore, he sees Simon Peter, his brother Andrew,
and some of their companions tending to their nets. Jesus goes over ,
climbs into Peter’s boat, and asks him to pull away from land. When they
get out a little distance, Jesus sits down and begins teaching the crowds
who had gathered on the shore, truths about the kingdom.

Afterward, Jesus says to Peter: Pull out to where it is deep, and let down
your nets for a catch. Peter responds: Instructor, we toiled all night and
caught nothing, but at your word I will lower the nets.

They lower the nets ans catch such a great number of fish that the nets begin to
rip. Urgently, the men motion to their partners in a boat nearby to come and
help. Soon both boats are filled with so many fish that the heavily laden
vessels begin to sink. Seeing this, Peter falls down before Jesus and says:
Depart from me, Lord, because I am a sinful man. Jesus responds: Stop
being afraid. From now on you will be catching men alive.
Jesus tells Peter and Andrew: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of
men. He includes two other fishermen, James and John, the sons of Zebedee.
They too respond without hesitation. So these four abandon their fishing
business and become the first full- time disciples of Jesus.

QUESTIONS

1. Wha sort of men does Jesus call to be full – time disciples, and who are
they?
2. What miracle frightens Peter?
3. The four disciples will now be doing what type of fishing?
