THE CALL OF THE
DISCIPLES "Now it happened that while
the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the word of God, He
was standing by the lake of Gennesaret; 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. 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. When He had finished speaking,
He said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets
for a catch." 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."
When they had done this, they enclosed a great quantity of fish, and
their nets began to break; 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. But when Simon Peter saw that,
he fell down at Jesus' feet, saying, "Go away from me Lord, for I am a
sinful man!" For amazement had seized him and all his companions because
of the catch of fish which they had taken; 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." When they
had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him." |
