Now as He was walking alongside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, the Christ).

And he led him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone).

On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.

And great crowds were gathered together to Him, so that He got into the boat and sat; and the crowd stood on the shore.

And again He began to teach beside the sea. And a large crowd was gathered to Him, so that He got aboard into the boat, and sat on the sea; and all the crowd was upon the land by the sea.

And He was teaching them many [things] by parables, and said to them in His teaching:

And early in the morning, He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and having sat down, He began to teach them.
