Bible Comments

And Jesus, walking, &c.— Respecting the calling of Peter, &c. see the notes on Mark 1. Instead of fishers, we may read, fishermen. It appears from John 1:35; John 1:51 that they had already acknowledged Jesus for the Messiah, upon the testimony of John the Baptist.

Matthew 4:18

18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
