Show the model answer
(a) Walking by the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and Andrew, casting a net, for they were fishermen (Matthew 4:18).
He said, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19).
Immediately they left their nets and followed Him (Matthew 4:20).
Going on, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and John, in the boat with their father mending their nets (Matthew 4:21).
He called them (Matthew 4:21).
Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him (Matthew 4:22).
(b) Any three: to be with Him and learn from Him (Mark 3:14); to help Him in His work; to be witnesses of His life and resurrection (Acts 1:8, 22); to continue His work after His departure; to preach and heal (Matthew 10:1, 7-8); to found the church.
Narrate Matthew 4:18-22, then three reasons.
