Scene 1
(Scene opens on floor, with Peter and Andrew talking, and James and John approaching)
Peter: I hate this job, fish all day and not a single fish!!!!!!!
Andrew: Peter, you’d better not let Dad hear you talking like that.
Peter: I know, Andrew, but it seems like there would be something more important to life than mending and casting nets.
(Andrew, seeing James and John approach calls out)
Andrew: Catch anything?
James: Nothing but a ton of seaweed!
Peter: Well it’s not our turn to clean the nets ----- so have fun!
John (to James): I thought we cleaned them last time.
Peter: John! You’re always trying to get out of work. If I didn’t keep track, we’d always be doing it!
James: Yeah you sure keep track alright!
(All stop as Peter motions for them to be quiet as Jesus approaches)
Jesus: Come Follow Me.
Peter: Who are you?
Jesus: Peter, I am of Jesus of Nazareth and if you’ll follow me, I will teach you how to fish for the souls of men.
(there is a brief silence, then Peter turns to the disiciples)
Peter: Jehovah has heard my heart!! Come on let’s go!
John: But Dad....
Peter: John, Dad has managed without us before, Come on and let’s follow this Jesus of Nazareth.
(John shrugs and all follow Jesus out of scene)
