Luke:5:1-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass ,
that ,
as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God ,
he stood by the lake of Gennesaret ,
*
And saw two ships standing by the lake :
but the fishermen were gone out of them ,
and were washing their nets .
*
And he entered into one of the ships ,
which was Simon '
s ,
and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land .
And he sat down ,
and taught the people out of the ship .
*
Now when he had left speaking ,
he said unto Simon ,
Launch out into the deep ,
and let down your nets for a draught .
*
And Simon answering said unto him ,
Master ,
we have toiled all the night ,
and have taken nothing :
nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net .
*
And when they had this done ,
they inclosed a great multitude of fishes :
and their net brake .
*
And they beckoned unto their partners ,
which were in the other ship ,
that they should come and help them .
And they came ,
and filled both the ships ,
so that they began to sink .
*
When Simon Peter saw it ,
he fell down at Jesus '
knees ,
saying ,
Depart from me ;
for I am a sinful man ,
O Lord .
*
For he was astonished ,
and all that were with him ,
at the draught of the fishes which they had taken :
*
And so was also James ,
and John ,
the sons of Zebedee ,
which were partners with Simon .
And Jesus said unto Simon ,
Fear not ;
from henceforth thou shalt catch men .
*
And when they had brought their ships to land ,
they forsook all ,
and followed him .
*
And it came to pass ,
when he was in a certain city ,
behold a man full of leprosy :
who seeing Jesus fell on his face ,
and besought him ,
saying ,
Lord ,
if thou wilt ,
thou canst make me clean .
*
And he put forth his hand ,
and touched him ,
saying ,
I will :
be thou clean .
And immediately the leprosy departed from him .
*
And he charged him to tell no man :
but go ,
and shew thyself to the priest ,
and offer for thy cleansing ,
according as Moses commanded ,
for a testimony unto them .
*
But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him :
and great multitudes came together to hear ,
and to be healed by him of their infirmities .
*
And he withdrew himself into the wilderness ,
and prayed .
