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

    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!”

    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.

    5So Jesus said to them,“Children, you don’t have any fish, do you?” They replied,“No.”
