(Lesson 3258)(12-04-20) Mark 1:16-20
“ Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him. And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets. And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.”
Today’s quote, as it relates to the process of the selection of Jesus’ apostles, marks the beginning of the church that was established by Jesus.
Mark’s account of those events differs considerably with the account that was given in the book of Matthew but the difference is insuficient to alter the overall intent of the scriptural narrative.~
