Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee
The same with the sea of Tiberias, ( John 6:1 ) ,

he saw Simon:
whose surname was Peter, the son of Jonas:

and Andrew his brother;
the brother of Simon,

casting a net into the sea;

for they were fishers:
by occupation, this was their trade and business, by which they got their livelihood; (See Gill on Matthew 4:18).

14 Or, après que Jean eut été mis en prison, Jésus s'en alla en Galilée, prêchant l'évangile du royaume de Dieu, et disant:
15 Le temps est accompli, et le royaume de Dieu approche. Repentez-vous et croyez à l'Évangile.
16 Or, comme il marchait le long de la mer de Galilée, il vit Simon et André son frère, qui jetaient leurs filets dans la mer; car ils étaient pêcheurs.
17 Alors Jésus leur dit: Suivez-moi, et je vous ferai pêcheurs d'hommes.
18 Et aussitôt, laissant leurs filets, ils le suivirent.
