About this coloring page
Jesus sits near the Sea of Galilee with five listeners gathered around him, while a fishing boat, baskets, hills, and a village fill the shore behind them. The teaching circle anchors these New Testament coloring pages. The setting recalls the places where Jesus called disciples and taught crowds, giving children a broad visual companion for the Gospels rather than limiting the sheet to one isolated moment.
Color Jesus and the seated figures first. Different robe colors keep shoulders and folded legs from blending together, especially where the group forms a close circle. Blue or green works for the water, with a brown boat and lighter hills beyond it. The baskets can use warm straw colors. Leave the distant village pale so it stays behind the main conversation. Older colorers can add small wave lines and roof details; younger children can fill each large section with one clear color.
Use the free printable PDF to open a New Testament survey, introduce the four Gospels, or give children a quiet activity during a lesson on following Jesus. Ask what people might have heard beside the lake, why fishermen left their nets, and how teaching traveled from one listener to another. Then choose a specific passage, such as Matthew 4:18-22 or Mark 1:16-20, and compare its details with the picture.
On the back, write Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in four boxes and add one remembered story beneath each name. Children can also draw a net or a second boat near the shoreline. This printable works as a Jesus teaches the disciples coloring page as well as a general Gospel review sheet. Water, a boat, gathered followers, and an attentive teacher make the setting recognizable. Keep the finished page at the front of a New Testament notebook as a cover for later lessons.
