Luke 5:1-7 ▼

1 Now it came to pass, in the crowd also pressing on Him to hear the word of God, that He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.

2 And He saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen, having gone away from them, were washing the nets.

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

4 And when He ceased speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your? nets for a catch.”

5 And answering, Simon said, “Master, having toiled through the whole night, we took nothing. But upon Your word, I will let down the nets.”

6 And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fish, and their nets were tearing.

7 And they beckoned to the partners in the other boat, having come, to help them, and they came and filled both boats so that they were sinking.
