Luke 5:1-11
The First Disciples

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

1:

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

2:

3 And 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.

3:

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

4:

5 And 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:

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

6:

7 And 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.

7:

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

8:

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

9:

10 And so [was] also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

10:

11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

11:
