Fishers of men in the Bible: Matthew 4:18-20


Jesus' disciples weren't, for the most part, wealthy and educated elites. They were everyday average people--in this case, fishermen who left their nets behind when Jesus called them to "fish" for something more important than physical food.

Matthew 4:18-20 (KJV)

 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.

 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
- 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
