And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose, and departed to his house. But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men. And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.-Matthew 9:1-9***Siblings Simon Peter and Andrew were fishermen when Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, told them to follow him. Two other Israelite siblings, James and John, were fishermen when Jesus told them to follow him. Simon Peter, James and John became the disciples and apostles most constantly with Jesus as Jesus taught, preached and performed miracles among the Israelites throughout Galilee, Samaria, Judea, and the surrounding regions. Matthew (Levi) was a publican working for the Roman Empire collecting taxes from his fellow Israelites when Jesus spoke to him. In the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible, Joseph of Arimathea is identified as a secret disciple of Jesus and a wealthy member of the Sanhedrin, the high court of the Israelites (Hebrews/Jews). In Galilee, Jesus told Philip to follow him, and Jesus spoke to Nathanael. However, Philip's occupation, Nathanael's occupation, and the occupations of of the other disciples and apostles who followed Jesus are not revealed in the Holy Bible. Less than 33 1/2 years after Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin, Jesus was betrayed by the disciple and apostle Judas Iscariot, and Jesus was arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb,  resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Reference Scripture:

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?-Matthew 16:13
