Jesus’ Disciples (Matthew 4:18-22, Luke 5:27-35)
Walking by the sea of
Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called
Peter, and
Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were
fishermen. He said to them, "
Follow after me, and I will make you fishers for men."
They
immediately left their nets and followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other
brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their
nets. He called them. They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
After these things he went out, and saw a
tax collector named Levi (or Matthew) sitting at the tax office, and said to him, "
Follow me!"
He left everything, and rose up and followed him. Levi made a great
feast for him in his house. There was a great
crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them. The scribes and
Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and
sinners?" Jesus answered them, "Those who are
healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance."

📖 Explanation:
This worksheet covers two key moments in Jesus’ ministry:
1.
Calling the First Disciples (Matthew 4:18–22 / Luke 5:1–11)
- Jesus walks by the Sea of Galilee and calls Simon Peter and Andrew (fishermen), then James and John (also fishermen).
- All four leave their livelihoods
immediately to follow Him — showing radical obedience and trust.
2.
Calling Levi (Matthew) and Eating with Sinners (Luke 5:27–32)
- Jesus calls Levi, a despised tax collector, to follow Him.
- Levi throws a feast where many tax collectors and “sinners” join — shocking the religious leaders (Pharisees and scribes).
- Jesus explains His mission:
“I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
➤ This highlights God’s grace — Jesus came for those who know they need Him, not those who think they’re already “good enough.”
