Luke 5:4-11

Darby Translation

⁴ But when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Draw out into the deep [water] and let down your nets for a haul.

⁵ And Simon answering said to him, Master, having laboured through the whole night we have taken nothing, but at thy word I will let down the net.

⁶ And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net broke.

⁷ And they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship to come and help them, and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were sinking.

⁸ But Simon Peter, seeing it, fell at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.

⁹ For astonishment had laid hold on him, and on all those who were with him, at the haul of fishes which they had taken;

¹⁰ and in like manner also on James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; henceforth thou shalt be catching men.

¹¹ And having run the ships on shore, leaving all they followed him.
