Luke 5:2–11

²and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. ³Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He ^csat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

⁴When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, ^d“Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

⁵But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught ^enothing; nevertheless ^fat Your word I will let down the net.” ⁶And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. ⁷So 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. ⁸When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, ^g“Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”

⁹For he and all who were with him were ^hastonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; ¹⁰and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. ⁱFrom now on you will catch men.” ¹¹So when they had brought their boats to land, ^jthey ¹forsook all and followed Him.
