Jesus Calls His Disciples Dramatically
In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus approaches Simon, Andrew, James, and John by the Sea of Galilee. He calls them to be his disciples, and they immediately leave everything to follow him. Mark portrays this encounter as dramatic and swift, emphasizing the need to promptly respond to Jesus' call without delay. By showing Jesus passing by and summoning them, Mark underscores the significance of obedience and following Jesus as key aspects of discipleship.
