Matthew 4:19
4:19 He said to them, “Follow me, and I will turn you into fishers of people.”
Matthew 13:47-50
13:47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea that caught all kinds of fish.
13:48 When it was full, they pulled it ashore, sat down, and put the good fish into containers and threw the bad away.
13:49 It will be this way at the end of the age. Angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous
13:50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mark 1:17
1:17 Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will turn you into fishers of people.”
Luke 5:4-10
5:4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and lower
your nets for a catch.”
5:5 Simon
answered,
“Master,
we worked hard all night and caught nothing! But at your word
I will lower
the nets.”
5:6 When
they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear.
5:7 So
they motioned
to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were about to sink.
5:8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord,
for I am a sinful man!”
5:9 For
Peter
and all who were with him were astonished
at the catch of fish that they had taken,
5:10 and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s business partners.
Then
Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on
you will be catching people.”
John 21:3-11
21:3 Simon Peter told them, “I am going fishing.” “We will go with you,” they replied.
They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
21:4 When it was already very early morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
21:5 So Jesus said to them, “Children, you don’t have any fish, do you?” They replied, “No.”
21:6 He told them, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw the net, and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish.
21:7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, tucked in his outer garment (for he had nothing on underneath it), and plunged into the sea.
21:8 Meanwhile the other disciples came with the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.
21:9 When they got out on the beach, they saw a charcoal fire ready with a fish placed on it, and bread.
21:10 Jesus said, “Bring some of the fish you have just now caught.”
21:11 So Simon Peter went aboard and pulled the net to shore. It was full of large fish, one hundred fifty-three, but although there were so many, the net was not torn.
