And Simon answered, “Master, (A)we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” And when they had done this, (B)they enclosed a large number of fish, and (C)their nets were breaking. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. (D)And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, (E)“Depart from me, for (F)I am a sinful man, O Lord.” For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that 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 be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”[a] 11 And when they had brought their boats to land, (G)they left everything and followed him.

Jesus Cleanses a Leper

12 While he was in one of the cities, (H)there came a man full of leprosy.[b] And when he saw Jesus, he (I)fell on his face and begged him, “Lord, (J)if you will, you can make me clean.”
