Luke:5:1-11
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 boats standing by the lake :
but the fishermen were gone out of them ,
and were washing their nets .
*
And he entered into one of the boats ,
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 boat .
*
Now when he had left speaking ,
he said unto Simon ,
*
And Simon answering said unto him ,
Master ,
we have toiled all the night ,
and have taken nothing :
nevertheless at your word I will let down the net .
*
And when they had this done ,
they enclosed a great multitude of fishes :
and their net broke .
*
And they beckoned unto their partners ,
which were in the other boat ,
that they should come and help them .
And they came ,
and filled both the boats ,
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 drawing 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 ,
*
And when they had brought their boats to land ,
they forsook all ,
and followed him .
