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 ships standing by the lake:
but the fishermen were gone out of them,
and were washing their nets. And he
entered into one of the ships, 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
ship. Now when he had left speaking, he
said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep,
and let down your nets for a draught. And
Simon answering said unto 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 this done,
they inclosed a great multitude of fishes:
and their net brake. And they beckoned unto
their partners, which were in the other ship,
that they should come and help them. And
they came, and filled both the ships, 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.
Luke 5:1-8
