Jesus Calls the First Disciples
Luk 5:1 Once while Jesus was standing beside the Lake of Gennesaret and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God,
Luk 5:2 he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
Luk 5:3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
Luk 5:4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
Luk 5:5 Simon answered, “Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.”
Luk 5:6 When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to burst.
Luk 5:7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
Luk 5:8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’s knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!”
Luk 5:9 For he and all who were with him were astounded at the catch of fish that they had taken,
Luk 5:10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.”
Luk 5:11 When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.
