The Twelve Friends Pictures One day there was a crowd of people who came to watch Jesus teach by Lake Galilee. “Row me out into the lake” said Jesus to a fisherman named Peter. He preached to the people from a boat. Afterwards, Jesus and the fishermen rowed the boat out further to try and catch some fish. Pictures They had not caught any fish the night before and were very sad. But the night that Jesus was on the “I want you to stop fishing in the sea boat with them they caught so many and become a fisher of men!” said fish their nets nearly broke! Jesus. And so these fishermen became the first of the twelve disciples.
