boat in Matthew 4
BOHT
This thing shows up in Matthew 4:21: “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,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Matthew 4:21
“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. He called them.”
What kids can learn
When you hear boat in Matthew, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
