Luke 5:1-11
========================
1One day as Jesus was
standing by the
2He saw at the water’s edge
two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets.
3He got into one of the
boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from
shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
4When he had finished
speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for
a catch.”
5Simon answered, “Master,
we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say
so, I will let down the nets.”
6When they had done so, they
caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.
7So they signaled their
partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both
boats so full that they began to sink.
8When Simon Peter saw this,
he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”
9For he and all his
companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,
10and so were James and John,
the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be
afraid; from now on you will fish for people.”
11So they pulled their boats
up on shore, left everything and followed him.
