“Fishers of men” is a metaphor with a very narrow application. It simply meant that Peter and the other fisherman were to switch jobs and become interested and involved with people. It did not mean that they were to trick people with barbed lies, rob them of life resources, fillet their bank accounts and consume them. We learn the brief lesson of the fish metaphor and then quickly switch to the shepherd/sheep metaphor where we take care of the sheep and do things for their benefit.
