SYMEON PETER<br />

Go away from me, I am a sinful man<br />

Notice <strong>Peter</strong> is depicted as the oldest disciples in all portrayals<br />

Painting by Jacopo Bassano, 1545<br />

(Luk 5:8) When Simon <strong>Peter</strong> saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,<br />

Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.<br />

It was only after the imprisonment of John the Baptist and the beginning of<br />

the declaration of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God by Jesus that Jesus<br />

called <strong>Andrew</strong> and <strong>Peter</strong> to his full time ministry. They were the first to be<br />

called to the ministry. Matthew does not give the details of the call as<br />

given by Luke above.<br />
