They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. Come, follow me, Jesus said, and I will make you fishers of men. At once they left their nets and followed Him. Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him. &Sifr\Jc&pf0if 4;18-22 *gvdvjtdkifem;rsm ºuGawmfrlpOf/ ayw±k[liac:a0:aom &SdrkefESifhta¹EN/ ndtpfudkespfa,mufwdk@onfwhigjzpfi/ tdkifwgifydkufugef jzef@csonfudk jrifawmfrlv#if/ xdkolwdk@tm; ighaemufodk@vdkuf=uavmh? oifwdk@onf vludkr#m;aom whigjzpfapjcif;isgigjykrnf[k trdef@awmf&sdavaomf/ xdkolwdk@onfcsufjcif; ydkufugefudk pgef@ypfiaemufawmfodk@vdkuf=u.? xdkrsvgefjyefv#iftjcm;aomndtpfudkespfa,muf/ azaa'j.om;,mukyfesifh a,m[efwdk@onf olwdk@tbesifhtwl avsay:rsm ydkufugef jyifaeonfudkjrifi ac:awmfrl.? xdkolwdk@onfvnf; csufjcif;tbesifh avsudkpgef@ypfi aemufawmfodk@vdkuf=u.? usmrf;q0fjrmwfjtxb 4;18-22 egf;rld0fjnef q0fja,bok q.rf;[drf;e.if umbvdtv; ugmb,lbeefhqdkif ref;q0fjxlyf;[ef aybw&k nefvbjqdk0fj odrkefb wif; e.ifhqmb;ref; nefbwa7b c0fo.ifydje.ifh 0mefbtc,lbefg;e.ifanMj/ c0fqld0f;eefhyaefwrfbimj[mymanmj/ ref;q0fjaumj+ifhc0ftvj0mj?- q.rf;ymj vifu0fwmu/ u0fwuf;{jolyaefwrfbimjnef[mulef;anmj? rld0fjnef0mjeifb ebqdkif c0fqld0f;eefhaumjyfwfj0bhtcc0fao,0fh q.rf;ymjvifref;q0fjugmburf;va0f anmj/ 0Bm;aoref;q0fjylefhaouMjwDjeefhugMb,0fh orfhxlyf;[efydje.ifho.ifaumu nefyaef,mbukyfh? vkufjqmb; aqbaybaw;? wif;e.ifhqmb;ref;,kk0f;[mefb? tr;zkiftcc0f,lbumjedl0f=d0f;vlpfjuefwif;aymjc0fanmj/ ref;q0fj+ifhn0fc0ftvj c0faumjyfwfj0bh=d0f;c0fwif;aymjc0fao,0fh q.rf;ymjvif ref;q0fjugmburf;va0fanmj/ They were called while they were actively at work.
