After Jesus was baptized by John in the Jordan River and then tempted by the devil in the wilderness, he left Judea and returned to Galilee. He chose his disciples and they traveled with him as he went through Galilee teaching and healing.

When he returned to his hometown of Nazareth he was rejected by the people who had known him when he was growing up and becoming a man.

In Luke we read about the first miraculous catch of fish. Jesus told Peter from "now on you will catch men". Peter, Andrew, James and John left their nets and became his faithful followers.
