Luke 5:2–11

²and he saw two boats standing beside the lake, and the fishers, having gone away from them, were washing the nets, ³and having entered into one of the boats, that was Simon’s, he asked him to put back a little from the land, and having sat down, was teaching the multitudes out of the boat. ⁴And when he left off speaking, he said unto Simon, ‘Put back to the deep, and let down your nets for a draught;’ ⁵and Simon answering said to him, ‘Master, through the whole night, having laboured, we have taken nothing, but at thy saying I will let down the net.’ ⁶And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net was breaking, ⁷and they beckoned to the partners, who are in the other boat, having come, to help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, so that they were sinking. ⁸And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, ‘Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;’ ⁹for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the draught of the fishes that they took, ¹⁰and in like manner also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon; and Jesus said unto Simon, ‘Fear not, henceforth thou shalt be catching men;’ ¹¹and they, having brought the boats upon the land, having left all, did follow him.
