He calls the fishermen

Peter and Andrew were casting their net into the lake, as on any other day. Jesus walked along the shore and called them. They left their nets and followed him; soon after, James and John left their father’s boat.

Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”

Mark 1:16-20 · Read it in the Bible

Did you know? The Sea of Galilee is really a freshwater lake, about 21 km long. Many of his first friends made their living fishing there.
