The beginning of the ministry in Galilee

  • PER054 Confirmation of the disciples’ calling

    On the shores of the Sea of Galilee, around March 31, Jesus confirms the call of four fishermen: Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John. Unlike the first call at Bethany, he now invites them to leave everything behind and devote themselves exclusively to evangelism. Their immediate and total response reflects a trust built up over the months spent at his side. Matthew (4:18-22) and Mark (1:16-20) report this foundational episode of the Galilean ministry.

    Mark 1.16-20 (King James Version) :
    Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

  • PER055 The First Miraculous Catch of Fish

    Pericope 55 recounts the first miraculous catch of fish, reported only by Luke (Luke 5:1-11), at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee. After a fruitless night of fishing, Jesus tells Simon Peter to cast the nets, producing an extraordinary catch. This miraculous act, distinct from the one in John 21, seems to have enabled the disciples to provide for their families before leaving everything to follow Jesus, illustrating the divine providence that accompanies every calling.

    Mark 1.16-20 (King James Version) :
    Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

Contradictions

  • CTD013 Jesus’ meeting with Peter?

    L'article CTD013 répond à une objection classique : où Jésus a-t-il rencontré Pierre et André pour la première fois ? Matthieu situe la rencontre en Galilée, Jean sur les bords du Jourdain. L'article démontre qu'il s'agit de deux étapes distinctes : une première rencontre en Judée (Jean), puis un appel définitif en Galilée (Matthieu). Les deux récits sont complémentaires, non contradictoires, et illustrent la progression graduelle de la vocation des disciples.

    John 1.43 (King James Version) :
    The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
