Jesus told them to come with Him. Let me give some background to this story. The Lake of Galilee, about 13 miles long and 9 miles wide, is a big fishing community during Jesus time. There are nine busy, bustling towns surrounding the lakeshore, most of them revolving around fishing. Josephus, the Jewish historian living just after Jesus time, describes going on a certain expedition and having no difficulty assembling 240 fishing boats to set out from one of the towns beside the Lake.
Fishing is a big deal here.
So when Jesus uses the fishing metaphor in calling His first disciples, they understand right away what He s talking about. Some of you are avid fishers. You love the process just as much as the product. And you love a good tale about it all. So anyway, you ll understand Jesus point here.
