Matthew 4

  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.
  19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
  20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
  21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of
Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending
their nets; and he called them.
  22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
  23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all
manner of disease among the people.

1 Corinthians 4

  9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were
appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels,
and to men.
  10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak,
but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
  11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and
are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
  12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being
persecuted, we suffer it:
  13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are
the offscouring of all things unto this day.
  14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
  15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not
many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
  16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

John 1

  35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
  36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
  37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
  38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek
ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,)
where dwellest thou?
  39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and
abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
  40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon
Peter's brother.
  41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found
the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
  42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art
Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation,
A stone.
  43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip,
and saith unto him, Follow me.
  44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
  45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom
Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of
Joseph.
  46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of
Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
  47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite
indeed, in whom is no guile!
  48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said
unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I
saw thee.
  49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God;
thou art the King of Israel.
  50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee
under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
  51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall
see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of
man.
