Gospel Theme:
Godly vocations for the unworthy
Gospel Note:
Luke's account of Jesus' calling of Peter apparently is based on Mark and Luke's own material, but placed comparatively late in Jesus' ministry. The call itself is accompanied by a self-depreciation typical of other biblical characters summoned to godly vocations, but is unusual in the sense that the declaration of personal unworthiness precedes the call, as a reaction to the power exhibited by Jesus in the miraculous catch of fishes.
