Matthew 4:21 - Zebedee, a fisherman, represents the call to discipleship in Jesus' ministry. His sons, James and John, left their nets to follow Christ (Mark 1:19-20). Interestingly, this fishing motif parallels Jesus' later teaching about becoming "fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19), emphasizing the transformative power of faith.
