As followers of Jesus: He calls them to 'follow me' (Mark 1:17)

They are portrayed as 'fishermen' because they will gather people into their community. In this respect, the boat became a symbol for the church, which is why the congregation sit in the part of a church called 'the nave' (Latin for boat)

The word 'disciple' means 'kearner'. The disciples are, therefore, by definition those who learn (and learn from) the teachings and example of their 'rabbi' teacher, who is Jesus himself.
