Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?

And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

And they immediately left their nets and followed Him.

And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, Jacob, and John the brother of Jacob.

Now after six days Jesus took Peter, Jacob, and John, and led them up into a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them.

Then Jacob and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask.

And He took Peter, Jacob, and John with Him, and He began to be in dread and deeply distressed.

One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

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

But He did not speak to them without a parable. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.

And the disciples came and said to Him, Why do You speak to them in parables?

Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.
