What can a study of Mark’s Gospel tell us about the nature of Discipleship? The disciples were ordinary people who Jesus asks to follow him. It is strange that Jesus did not pick any particular person, he just chose four fishermen to be his most loyal companions who would be prepared to die, suffer, be rejected, and go to prison. The following story (1:16-20) tells us how Jesus called his first disciples. As Jesus walked along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw two fishermen, Simon and his brother Andrew, catching fish in a net. Jesus said to them, ''Come with me and I will teach you to catch people'' at once they left their nets and followed him. He went farther on and saw two brothers James and John, the sons of Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and went with Jesus.
