    he saith unto them : ' Come after me , and I will make you fishers of men . ' So they straightway left their nets , and followed him . And passing on thence , he saw two other brethren , James the son of Zebedee , and John his brother , in the ship [ a small sailing vessel used for the purpose of fishing ] with Zebedee their father , -refitting-tl ^ the ship , and their father , and followed him .

    MarkI . 16—20 . Now [ Jesus /] walking by the sea of Galilee , saw Simon , and Andrew his brother , casting a net into the sea , for they were fishermen ; whereupon Jesus said unto them : * Come after me , and I will make you to be fishers of men . ' So they straightway left their nets , and followed him . And passing on thence a little , he saw James the son of Zebedee , and John his brother , themselves also in the ships , refitting their nets ; whereupon he immediately called them ; and they , leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants , went after him .

    Luke v . 1—11 . < _ Now it came to pass , as the multitude were pressing upon [ Jesus ] to hear the word of God , and he was standing by the lake Gennesaret , [ another name for the sea of Galilee , ] that he saw two ships standing by the lake ; . but the fishermen having gone out of them , were washing their nets . So having enteredlnto one of the ships , which was Simon ' s , he besought him to put forth

    a little from the land ; and having sat down , he taught the multitudes out of the ship . When he had ceased speaking , he said unto Simon : Put forth into the deep , and let down your nets for a draught / Simon answering said unto him : * Master , throughout the night have we toiled , and taken nothing ) nevertheless at thy word 1 will let down the net . ' And having so done , they enclosed a great multitude of fishes ; but their net wits breaking ;

    whereupon they beckoned to their partners , who < wfere " 'in ' th ~ e "'( 5 : th « t ship , to come and help them ; and they came and filled both the ships , so that they were [ on the point of ] sinking . Simon . Peter , seeing this , fell down at Jesus' knees , saying : Depart from me , for I am a sinful man , Lord V ( For amazement seized him , and all his companions , at the draught of fishes which they had taken ; likewise also James and John , sons of Zebedee , who were partners

    with Simon . ) But Jesus said unto Simon : * Fear not , henceforth thou s shalt catch men' \ i . e . as fishes . ] So having brought the ships , to land , they left all , and followed him . [ Some have doubted whether this narrative of Luke can-be reconciled to those of-Matthew and Mark , and have therefore referred it to a different time ; but Luke may only have related facts omitted by the other ? , and the general likeness greatly preponderates over the difference in the narratives . ]
