Mientras caminaba junto al lago de Galilea, Jesús vio a dos hermanos: uno era Simón, llamado Pedro, y el otro, Andrés. Estaban echando la red al lago, pues eran pescadores. “Vengan, síganme —dijo Jesús—, y los haré pescadores de hombres”. Al instante dejaron las redes y lo siguieron. Más adelante vio a otros dos hermanos: Santiago y Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, que estaban con su padre en una barca remendando las redes. Jesús los llamó y dejaron enseguida la barca y a su padre para seguirlo. (Mt 4, 18-22).

[Jesus] saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him. He walked along from there and saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat, with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him (Mt 4:18–22).

No es gran cosa que seas mi siervo, ni que restaures a las tribus de Jacob, ni que hagas volver a los de Israel, a quienes he preservado. Yo te pongo ahora como luz para las naciones, a fin de que lleves mi salvación hasta los confines de la tierra (Is 49:3-6).
