And (
note :)
Christ reveals to the four disciples whom he had taken unto himself the office of the apostleship ,
which would be committed unto them in the future .(:
note )
it came to pass ,
that ,
as the people Did as it were lie upon him ,
so desirous were they both to see him and hear him ,
and therefore he taught them out of a ship .
pressed upon him to hear the word of God ,
he stood by the lake of Gennesaret ,
*
And sawe two shippes stand by the lakes side ,
but the fishermen were gone out of them ,
and were washing their nettes .
*
And he entred into one of the ships ,
which was Simons , &
amp ;
required him that he would thrust off a litle from the land :
and he sate downe ,
and taught the people out of the ship .
*
Now when he had left speaking ,
he sayd vnto Simon ,
Lanch out into the deepe ,
and let downe your nettes to make a draught .
*
And Simon answering said unto him , (
note :)
The word signifies someone that has rule over anything .(:
note )
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 so done ,
they enclosed a great multitude of fishes ,
so that their net brake .
*
And they beckened to their parteners ,
which were in the other ship ,
that they shoulde come and helpe them ,
who came then ,
and filled both the ships ,
that they did sinke .
*
Now when Simon Peter saw it ,
he fel down at Iesus knees ,
saying ,
Lord ,
go from me :
for I am a sinfull man .
*
For he was vtterly astonied ,
and all that were with him ,
for the draught of fishes which they tooke .
*
And so was also Iames &
amp ;
Iohn the sonnes of Zebedeus ,
which were companions with Simon .
Then Iesus sayde vnto Simon ,
Feare not :
from henceforth thou shalt catch men .
*
And when they had brought the ships to land ,
they forsooke all ,
and followed him .
