“And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Matthew 4:19 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 4:19
Jesus' call 'Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men' transforms the disciples' occupation into a metaphor for evangelism. The promise 'I will make you' shows discipleship is a process where Christ shapes His followers. The shift from catching fish to catching men requires leaving former occupations and priorities—following precedes being 'made' effective.
