He saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him. The kingdom of heaven is like a net, which was put into the sea and took in every sort of fish.  less
