Luke 5:1-5 ▼

1 Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the word of God, He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;

2 and He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.

3 And He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little distance from the land. And He sat down and continued teaching the crowds from the boat.

4 Now when He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5 Simon responded and said, “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as You say and let down the nets.”
