    3He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then Jesus sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.

    4When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,“Put out into the deep water and lower your nets for a catch.”

    5Simon answered,“Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing! But at your word I will lower the nets.”

    6When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear.

    7So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were about to sink.

    8But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying,“Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!”

    9For Peter and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken,

    10and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s business partners. Then Jesus said to Simon,“Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people!”

    11So when they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.
