Présentation de l'éditeur
On the Shore of Lake Galilee ON the northern shore of Lake Galilee, west of that point where the upper Jordan flows with rapid course into the little sea, a firm of fishers plied their trade. The lake abounded in fish, the great city of Capernaum was a convenient market, and at least two of the partners lived there. The firm consisted of Zebedee, his sons, James and John, Simon, and his brother A ndrew. Like all workers on the waters, these were elemental natures. The temper of Zebedee ssons was so much like the lightning that they were sometimes called The Sons of Thunder. Simon was impulsive in speech and action, but his heart was kind. He conquered his fitful temper and became as stable as a rock, hence he was afterwards called Peter. One afternoon when the shadows of the declining sun were beginning to slant across the blue Galilean waters, these men were working at their nets. Only yesterday they had met the young Prophet of Nazareth, and heard Him say with great assurance: The kingdom of heaven is at hand. The white cords of the nets were handled almost unconsciously, for the hope of Israel was strong in their hearts.
