Where The Apostle Paul Preached
...Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon [were] casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men” – Mark 1:16-17. Jesus used the metaphor of fishing for drawing men and women to him (cf. John 6:44).
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. So it will be at the end of the age… – Matthew 13:47-49.
