Luke 5:2-11

2and He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets. 3And 1He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little distance from the land. And He sat down and continued teaching the crowds from the boat. 4Now when He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and 2let down your nets for a catch.” 5Simon responded and said, “3Master, 4we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but 5I will do as You say and let down the nets.” 6And when they had done this, 6they caught a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to tear; 7so they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both of the boats, to the point that they were sinking. 8But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!” 9For amazement had seized him and all his companions because of the catch of fish which they had taken; 10and likewise also were 7James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “8Do not fear; from now on you will be 9catching people.” 11When they had brought their boats to land, 10they left everything and followed Him.
