Matthew 4:18 in Context — Matthew 4
16 Ce peuple, assis dans les ténèbres, A vu une grande lumière; Et sur ceux qui étaient assis dans la région et l’ombre de la mort La lumière s’est levée.
17 Dès ce moment Jésus commença à prêcher, et à dire: Repentez-vous, car le royaume des cieux est proche.
18 Comme il marchait le long de la mer de Galilée, il vit deux frères, Simon, appelé Pierre, et André, son frère, qui jetaient un filet dans la mer; car ils étaient pêcheurs.
19 Il leur dit: Suivez-moi, et je vous ferai pêcheurs d’hommes.
20 Aussitôt, ils laissèrent les filets, et le suivirent.
