Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Luke 5
² and He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
³ And He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little way from the land. And He sat down and began teaching the people from the boat.
⁴ When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch."
⁵ Simon answered and said, "Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as You say and let down the nets."
⁶ When they had done this, they enclosed a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to break;
⁷ so they signaled to their partners in the other boat for them to come and help them. And they came and filled both of the boats, so that they began to sink.
⁸ But when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus’ feet, saying, "Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man!"
⁹ For amazement had seized him and all his companions because of the catch of fish which they had taken;
¹⁰ and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not fear, from now on you will be catching men."
¹¹ When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.
¹² While He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man covered with leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."
