* The people came close around Jesus to hear Gods word . He was standing by Lake Gennesaret &lt ;FI &gt ;the Sea of Galilee &lt ;Fi &gt ;. * He saw two boats by the water . The fishermen were not in their boats . They were washing their nets . * Jesus got into one of the boats . It was Simons boat . Jesus asked him to put the boat out into the water a little way from the land . Then he sat down in the boat and taught the people . * When he stopped talking , he said to Simon , Put the boat out into deep water and let down your nets to catch some fish . * Simon answered , Master , we worked hard all night and did not catch anything . But because you say so , I will let down the nets . * When they did this , they caught many fish . Their nets were so full they were breaking . * They called their friends in the other boat to come and help them . They came . They filled both boats with so much fish , they began to go down . * When Simon Peter saw this , he kneeled down in front of Jesus . He said , Lord , leave me because I am a bad man ! * He was very much surprised to see how many fish they had caught . All those who were with him were surprised too . * James and John , the sons of Zebedee , were helping Simon . They were surprised also . Jesus said to Simon , Do not fear . From now on your work will be to catch men . * They brought their boats to the land . Then they left everything and went with Jesus .
