GOSPEL READING: John 1: 35-42
In the Gospel of John, Jesus does not call the disciples as he does in the synoptic Gospel. In the first three Gospels He goes around near the sea of Galilee and there he finds Peter, Andrew, James, and John and he calls them and they leave their nets and boats and follow Jesus.
In the Gospel of John it is John the Baptist who bears witness to the Jesus. Jesus is walking around and John points out Jesus as the Lamb of God and to his own disciples and the disciples of John become the disciple of Jesus. And these disciples inquire about Jesus and his whereabouts; Jesus gives them an option to visit his location. The disciples decide to see and they decide to remain with him as his disciples. The disciples find other disciples for Jesus (He first found his own brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” ).
