Welcome to the online Mark 1:16 Quiz about Jesus calling his first disciples! In the Bible, we learn about how Jesus walked along the Sea of Galilee and saw two brothers, Simon (who is also called Peter) and Andrew, fishing.
Jesus called out to them, saying “Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people.” Immediately, they left their nets and followed him. This was the beginning of their journey as disciples of Jesus.
As Jesus continued along the shore, he saw two other brothers, James and John, in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called to them as well, and they immediately left their boat and their father to follow him.
These four men were the first disciples that Jesus called to join him in spreading the good news of the Kingdom of God. Join us in this quiz to test your knowledge about this important moment in the life of Jesus and his disciples!

Chapter 1
16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
