Matthew 4 17-21 says "Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them."
According to the gospels, Peter and Andrew are called together, followed by James and John, to become "fishers of men."
Simon, later called Peter, along with his brother Andrew gave up the family fishing business and accepted Our Lord's invitation to become "Fishers of Men."
While Jesus saw Peter and his brother Andrew along with James and John sll were fishing or repairing their fishing nets. Jesus told Peter , whose real name was Simon to follow me , and I will make you fishers of men.
Yes. We are told that John the disciple (not John the baptist!) had a brother called James, who were both sons of a fisherman called Zebedee. Both John and James were disciples of Jesus, and were typical beligerent teenage boys - they were called, in fact, the 'Sons of Thunder'.
Simon is the son of Jonah, and native of Bethsaida in Galilee. He along with his brother, Andrew, were early disciples of John the Baptist.

Two apostles, out of the twelve who followed Jesus Christ, were named Peter (who was also known by Symeon, Simon, Cephus, and Simon Peter) and John. Peter was a fisherman along with his brother, John. Both of them left their secular fishing business to follow Jesus, at His request. In the Bible, the book of Matthew chapter 4 verses 18-22 tells of this account, "walking alongside the sea of Galilee he [Jesus] saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, letting down a fishing net into the sea, for they were fishers. And he said to them: 'Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.' At once abandoning the nets, they followed him. Going on also from there he saw two others who were brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with their nets, and he called them. At once leaving the boat and their father, they followed him." This scripture explains how these few apostles were found, and called by Jesus Christ. As his apostles, they ultimately became fishers of men as stated in Luke 5:10, 11, "and likewise both James and John, Zebedee's sons, who were sharing with Simon. But Jesus said to Simon: 'Stop being afraid. From now on you will be catching men alive.' So they brought the boats back to land and abandoned everything and followed him."
The profession of Simon also called Peter, the name was changed by Jesus to Peter meaning The Rock. Both Peter and his brother Simon were fishermen along with their father.
Saint Andrew became a follower of Jesus after his brother, Simon Peter, introduced him to Jesus. Andrew and another disciple followed Jesus after hearing John the Baptist speak and spend time with Him, eventually becoming one of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus.
Yes. Peter along with John, were the closest to Jesus.

According to Mark and Matthew, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew fishing in Galilee, and commanded them to follow him. He later named Simon, Peter.Luke follows Mark in its explanation of how Jesus met Peter, but says that Peter was not actually chosen as an apostle until some time later, when Jesus called all his apostles together and chose twelve, one of whom was Peter, to be apostles.John says that Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist, who told him to follow Jesus. Andrew went and got his brother, Simon Peter, and brought him to Jesus (John 1:35-42).
