The First Disciples
16 As(A) he passed alongside the Sea of Galilee,(B) he saw Simon(C) and Andrew,(D) Simon’s brother, casting a net into the sea(E)—for they were fishermen. 17 “Follow me,”(F) Jesus told them, “and I will make you fish for[a](G) people.”(H) 18 Immediately they left their nets and followed(I) him.(J) 19 Going on a little farther, he saw James(K) the son of Zebedee(L) and his brother John(M) in a boat putting their nets in order. 20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.(N)

Luke 5:2-11
Christian Standard Bible
2 He saw two boats at the edge of the lake; the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats,(A) which belonged to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from the land. Then he sat down and was teaching the crowds from the boat.
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”(B)
5 “Master,”(C) Simon replied, “we’ve worked hard all night long and caught nothing. But if you say so, I’ll let down the nets.”[a]
6 When they did this, they caught a great number of fish, and their nets[b] began to tear. 7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’s knees and said, “Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!” (D) 9 For he and all those with him were amazed(E) at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners.
“Don’t be afraid,”(F) Jesus told Simon. “From now on you will be catching people.”(G) 11 Then they brought the boats to land, left everything, and followed him.(H)

40 Andrew,(A) Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed him. 41 He first found his own brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah”[a](B) (which is translated “the Christ”),(C) 42 and he brought Simon to Jesus.
When Jesus saw him, he said, “You are Simon, son of John.[b] You will be called Cephas”(D) (which is translated “Peter”[c]).
