Why did Jesus call fishermen (Peter, Andrew, James, and John) to be his followers (Matthew 4:12-23)? Did Jesus begin his own ministry AFTER John the Baptist was in prison (Synoptics) or BEFORE (Gospel of John)? What was Jesus' project, his mission and message, all about? Why would he need Galilean fishermen for this task?

Another informative talk- thanks Bill! Mark 2:1 confirms Capernaum as Jesus' home, Matthew spells it out in more detail, but for theological reasons. One might guess that he couldn't get anything done in Nazareth because his immediate family was on his case, later coming to Capernaum to collect him before he embasassed them further.
