5:1AND it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

5:2And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

5:3And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

5:4Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

5:5And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

5:6And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

5:7And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

5:8When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

5:9For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
