And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”
And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
but she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives.
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
