* 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 .
