Christ had already met Peter, Andrew and Philip.This was not their first interaction with him. Christ had already changed Simon's name to Peter at this point. So, contrary to what people want to think, they did not answer to the call of the complete stranger. They had already received the witness from John and had seen Christs miracles. If we look at each of the records in turn, especially that of Luke, we get the feeling that after announcing himself in Nathareth, he returned to Capernaum where Peter and most of the Apostles lived. While there they fell back into their daily routines of fishing for a living. Then according to Luke 5 he came and called them to leave their nets and dedicate themselves to the ministry.
