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.

21 De là étant allé plus loin, il vit deux autres frères, Jacques, fils de Zébédée, et Jean, son frère, qui étaient dans une barque avec Zébédée, leur père, et qui réparaient leurs filets.

22 Il les appela, et aussitôt ils laissèrent la barque et leur père, et le suivirent.
