Latin text
Ambulans Jesus mare Galilaeae,
juxta mare Galilaeae,
vidit duos fratres,
Simonem qui vocatur Petrus,
et Andream fratrem ejus,
mittentes rete in mare
(erant enim piscatores)
et ait illis:
Venite post me et faciam vos
fieri piscatores hominum.
At illi continuo
relictis retibus et navi secuti sunt eum
et procedens vidit duos alios fratres
Jacobum Zebedaei et Johannem fratrem ejus
in navi reficientes retia sua
cum Zebedaeo patrem
eorum reficientes retia sua,
et vocavit eos illi autem
statim relictis retibus
et patre secuti sunt eum.
