Tissot, James, The calling of Peter and Andrew. The calling of the disciples is a key episode in the life of Jesus in the New Testament. [2] [3] It appears in Matthew 4:18–22, Mark 1:16-20 and Luke 5:1–11 on the Sea of Galilee. John 1:35–51 reports the first encounter with two of the disciples a little earlier in the presence of John the ...
Matthew 4:22 is the twenty-second verse of the fourth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.After recruiting Simon Peter and Andrew as disciples, Jesus encountered the brothers James and John and their father Zebedee.
This calling of the first Apostles, which eventually become a group of twelve, made the two fishermen early followers of Jesus.There is a parallel account in Mark 1:16–20 and a similar but different story in Luke 5:1–11, the Luke story not including the phrase "fishers of men" (or similar wording).
(Acts 3:6.) A catalogue of the names of the Apostles is given, that all false Apostles might be excluded. The names of the twelve Apostles are these; First, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother. To arrange them in order according to their merit is His alone who searches the secrets of all hearts.

The World English Bible translates the passage as: Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. For a collection of other versions see BibleHub Matthew 4:18
The more prominent of the brothers, presumably Simon, is holding a fish in his right hand. The edge of the canvas is rather damaged, but the central panel is in good condition. The presence of "incisions" into the ground of the canvas marking out St. Peter's ear and the eyes of Christ are typical of Caravaggio's technique. [1]
Like Simon and Andrew, James and John are fishers: see Matthew 4:18 for a discussion of fishing on the Sea of Galilee. Luke's very different description of the calling of the disciples notes that James and John were partners with Simon and Andrew, but the Gospel of Matthew does not mention any link between the two pairs.

Augustus Woodward's plan for the city following 1805 fire. Detroit, settled in 1701, is one of the oldest cities in the Midwest. It experienced a disastrous fire in 1805 which nearly destroyed the city, leaving little present-day evidence of old Detroit save a few east-side streets named for early French settlers, their ancestors, and some pear trees which were believed to have been planted by ...
