Luke:5:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
So it was ,
as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God ,
that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret ,
*
and saw two boats standing by the lake ;
but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets .
*
Then He got into one of the boats ,
which was Simon '
s ,
and asked him to put out a little from the land .
And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat .
*
When He had stopped speaking ,
He said to Simon , "
Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch ."
*
But Simon answered and said to Him , "
Master ,
we have toiled all night and caught nothing ;
nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net ."
*
And when they had done this ,
they caught a great number of fish ,
and their net was breaking .
*
So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to 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 and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken ;
*
and so also were James and John ,
the sons of Zebedee ,
who were partners with Simon .
And Jesus said to Simon , "
Do not be afraid .
From now on you will catch men ."
*
So when they had brought their boats to land ,
they forsook all and followed Him .
