How do we know that Peter was called by Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

Peter's calling is clearly depicted in the Gospels, where Jesus invites him to be a fisher of men following a miraculous catch of fish.

Peter's call to follow Jesus is a pivotal moment in the Gospels, especially depicted in Luke 5:1-11. After a long night of unsuccessful fishing, Peter obeys Jesus' command to cast his net once more and is rewarded with a miraculous catch. This act of faith leads Peter to fall at Jesus’ knees, acknowledging his sinfulness and unworthiness. Jesus then calls him to forsake his former life and become a 'fisher of men', highlighting the transformative power of Jesus’ call on individuals' lives. Thus, Peter's calling is marked by obedience and divine revelation.
