3 Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 

4 After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” 

5 Simon said in reply, “Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets.” 

6 When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. 

7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help them. They came and filled both boats so that they were in danger of sinking.

8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”

10 and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”
