Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee
and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee,
preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately
they left the boat and their father and followed him. - Matthew 4:21, 22

Christ
calling the Apostles James and John ~ Edward Armitage
"And just as He appeared before the holy Apostles in true flesh, so
now He has us see Him in the Sacred Bread. Looking at Him with the eyes of their
flesh, they saw only His Flesh, but regarding Him with the eyes of the spirit,
they believed that He was God.
In
like manner, as we see bread and wine with
our bodily eyes, let us see and believe firmly that it is His Most Holy Body and
Blood, True and Living.
For in this way our Lord is ever
present among those who believe
in Him, according to what He said: "Behold, I am
with you all days even to the consummation of the world" (Mt. 28, 20).
