BLB(i)
1 And it came to pass, in the crowd pressing on Him also to hear the word of God, and He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 and He saw two boats lying by the lake, but the fishermen, having gone out from them, were washing the nets.
3 And having entered into one of the boats which was Simon’s, He asked him to put off a little from the land. And having sat down, He was teaching the crowds from the boat.
4 And when He left off speaking, He said to Simon, “Put off into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 And Simon answering, said, “Master, having toiled through whole night, we have taken nothing; but at Your word, I will let down the nets.”
6 And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking.
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.
8 And having seen, Simon Peter fell at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, Lord. For I am a sinful man.”
9 For amazement laid hold on him, and on all those with him, at the catch of the fish which they had taken,
10 and likewise also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Fear not; from now on you will be catching men.”
11 And having brought the boats to the land, having left all, they followed Him.
