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 had 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 to Simon ,
Lanch out into the deep ,
and let down your nets for a draught .
*
And Simon answering said to 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 done this ,
they inclosed a great multitude of fishes :
and their net broke .
*
And they beckoned to their partners ,
who 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 draught of the fishes which they had taken :
*
And so was also James and John the sons of Zebedee ,
who were partners with Simon .
And Jesus said to Simon ,
Fear not :
from henceforth thou shalt catch men .
*
And when they had brought their boats to land ,
they forsook all ,
and followed him .
