104
When were James and John called?
Matthew: After Peter was called.
After giving an account of the calling of Peter and Andrew, Matthew says: “And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him” ([iv, 21, 22]).
Luke: At the time that Peter was called.
Luke states that James and John were partners of Peter, and with him on the lake, in another boat, when the miraculous draught of fishes was made, that both boats were filled with the fish, “And when they [Peter, James and John] had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him” ([v, 1–11]).
