Fishers for People

Read the Story

Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee. He saw two brothers, Simon and Andrew. They were throwing a net into the sea to catch fish.

Jesus said, "Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men." Right away, they left their nets and followed Him.

Then Jesus saw James and John in a boat. He called them too, and they followed Jesus. They would help Jesus bring people to God.
