* Now it happened , as he stood by the lake Gennesaret , the multitude pressing upon him to hear the word of God ; * that seeing two barks aground , near the shore , the fishermen having landed to wash their nets , * he went aboard one of them , which was Simon 's ; and desiring him to put off a little from the land , sat down , and taught the people out of the bark . * When he had done speaking , he said to Simon , * Simon answered , Master , we have toiled all night , and have caught nothing ; nevertheless , at your word , I will let down the net . * Having done this , they inclosed such a multitude of fishes , that the net began to break . * And they beckoned to their companions , in the other bark , to come and help them . And they came , and loaded both their barks , so that they were near sinking . * When Simon Peter saw this , he threw himself at Jesus ' knees , saying , Depart from me , Lord , for I am a sinful man . * For the draught of fishes which they had taken had filled him and all his companions with terror , * particularly James and John , sons of Zebedee , who were Simon 's partners . And Jesus said to Simon , * And having brought their barks to land , they forsook all , and followed him .
