Jesus’ Calling His First Disciples

First PointJesus’ first call was a call to

come and see.

Jesus’ first encounter with His earliest disciples immediately follows His baptism.

John 135 The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.

38 Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?”

39 He said to them, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ).

42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter).

It’s easy when you know it!

Second PointJesus’ second calling of the same men was a call to deeper commitment – a call to fish for men.

Matthew and Mark show us that Jesus has a second encounter with his disciples in Galilee.

Mark 114 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 

15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

16 Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”

18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.

Mark 120 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.

Luke shows us that Jesus gave Peter special attention.
