1 And it was the crowd pressing close upon him to hear the word of God, and he was standing near the lake of Gennesaret, 2 And he saw two ships standing near the lake: and the fishermen having gone out of them, washed the fishing-nets. 3 And having gone into one of the ships, which was Simon's, he asked him to sail out a little from land. And having sat down, he taught the crowds out of the ship. 4 And when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Sail out into the deep, and slacken your nets for fishing. 5 And Simon having answered, said to him, Commander, wearied for the whole night, we took nothing: but at thy word I will slacken the net. 6 And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net broke through; 7 And they nodded to partners, those in the other ship, that having come they should succor them. And they came and filled both ships, so that they were sinking. Luke 5:1-7, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
