Jesus Calls His Disciples is the story of Jesus being baptized by John the Baptist, who at first feels too humble to be worthy of this act. Then how Jesus asks two fishermen, Simon and Andrew, in Galilee, to take him out on the water so he can preach to the people who have gathered on the shore. The fishermen take him, but explain they had caught no fish that day. Jesus tells the men to let out their nets, and the fishermen suddenly catch many fish. Jesus then asks the men to come with him, as his disciples and to be 'fishers of men'. Jesus teaches his disciples about the values of love, humility and the evils of greed and envy. Jesus also teaches and shows the importance of having faith and trust. He picks Simon Peter to be his 'rock' on which Christianity is built ('Peter' means 'stone'.)
