NOTES [49 words]: In Mark 1:16-17 Jesus sees Peter and his brother Andrew fishing on the Sea of Galilee and calls them to come "fish for people"; similarly in Matthew 4:17-20. The account in Luke 5:1-10 is rather different, and involves James and John the sons of Zebedee as well, but the effect is the same. - RBW
