Stepping into one of the boats, Jesus asked Simon, its owner, to push it out into the water. So he sat in the boat and taught the crowds from there.
One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living.
He had healed many people that day, so all the sick people eagerly pushed forward to touch him.
Jesus instructed his disciples to have a boat ready so the crowd would not crush him.
He noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge, for the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.
but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them.
