Question source
Matthew
Jesus calls Simon (Peter) and Andrew while they are fishing Matthew 4:18–19. He also calls James and John, the sons of Zebedee, and they follow him Matthew 4:21–22.
18Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
19He said to them, "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers for men."
20They immediately left their nets, and followed him.
21Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with Zebedee, their father, mending their nets. He called them.
22They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
