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. 8 And Simon Peter fell upon his knees before Jesus, saying, Go out from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For amazement held him, and all those with him, at the fishing of the fishes which they took: 10 And likewise also James and John, Zebedee's sons, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; from now thou shalt be capturing men. Luke 5:4-10, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
