Context of Luke 5:3
1Now it came to pass, while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret; 2and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets. And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat. 4And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy word I will let down the nets.

The smooth still water of the lake must have served excellently to convey the sounds to those who stood on the shore;Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3Which was Simon‘s - Simon Peter‘s. Prayed him - Asked him. He sat down - This was the common posture of Jewish teachers.

That these calls were all distinct and progressive, seems quite plain.
