1 While the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he was
standing by the lake of Gennesaret. 2 And he saw two boats by the
lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simons, he asked him to put
out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from
the boat. 4 And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, "Put
out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." 5 And Simon
answered, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word
I will let down the nets." 6 And when they had done this, they enclosed
a great shoal of fish; and as their nets were breaking, 7 they beckoned
to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came
and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when
Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from
me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." 9 For he was astonished, and
all that were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and
so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon.
And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching
men." |
