Luke 5:1-7 ▼

1 And it came to pass, while the multitude is pressing on Him to hear the word of God, and He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;

2 and He saw two ships standing by the lake: the fishermen, having gone from them, were washing their nets.

3 And having come into one of the ships, which belonged to Simon, He asked him to lead out a little from the land, and sitting down He was teaching the multitudes from the ship.

4 When He ceased speaking He said to Simon, Lead out into the deep, and spread your nets for a draught.

5 And Simon responding said to Him, Master, having toiled all night, we caught nothing: but at thy word I will spread the net.

6 And having done this, they caught a great multitude of fishes; and their net was breaking;

7 and they beckoned to their comrades in another ship, having come to assist them, And they came, and filled both ships, so as to sink them.
