Matthew 4:19

The First Disciples

18As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.19“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”20And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
