17–22. THE CALL OF PETER AND ANDREW AND OF THE SONS OF ZEBEDEE

See Mar 1:16-20.

In Luke, Simon is mentioned without any introduction, ch. Luk 4:38. The narrative of Luk 5:3-11 must be referred to a different occasion, though Luk 5:11 corresponds with Mat 4:22 of this chapter. St Luke adds that the sons of Zebedee were partners with Simon. Joh 1:35-42 refers to a previous summons. We learn there that Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist, and that Bethsaida was the city of Andrew and Peter.
