The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you.”
Genesis 12:1 (NLT)
Lot, who was traveling with Abram, was also rich in sheep and cattle and tents. But the land couldn’t support both of them; they had too many possessions. They couldn’t both live there; quarrels broke out between Abram’s shepherds and Lot’s shepherds. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living on the land at the time.
Genesis 13:5-7 (MSG)
Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not have fighting between your shepherds and my shepherds. After all, we’re family. Look around. Isn’t there plenty of land out there? Let’s separate. If you go left, I’ll go right; if you go right, I’ll go left.”
Genesis 13:8-9 (MSG)
Jesus walked on until He saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat with their father, mending their nets. Jesus asked them to come with Him too.
Matthew 4:21 (CEV)
Right away they left the boat and their father and went with Jesus.
Matthew 4:22 (CEV)
Jesus said to them, “Why did you have to look for Me? You should have known that I must be where My Father’s work is.”
Luke 2:49 (ERV)
