In it He thanks God the Father for giving the disciples to Him to teach and prepare them to carry on the work that the Father wanted done, to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to observe all the things that He (Jesus) commanded. Jesus did what the Father commanded and that included choosing not only James, Peter and John but the other disciples as well.
Mat 4:19 Then He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." This is not a parable, a parable is a story. This is a metaphor. Jesus is saying to Peter and Andrew to follow Him and He would teach them how to catch men/people. Here Jesus is alluding to taking the gospel to people. The net Peter and Andrew were to spread and cast was the Gospel, Mat 13:47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind, The sea into which they were to cast the net was first Judea, and then the whole world; the fish they were to catch were the souls of men, both among Jews and Gentiles.
