Luke 5. Verse 1. Then it came to pass, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, that he stood by the lake of Gennesaret. 2. And saw two ships stand by the lake side, but the fishermen were gone out of them, & were washing their nets. 3. And he entered into one of the ships which was Simons, and required him that he would thrust of a little from the land: & he sate down, and taught the people out of the ship. 4. Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon: launch out into the deep, & let down your nets to make a draught. 5. Then Simon answered and said unto him: Master, we have travailed sore all night, and have taken nothing, nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 6. And when they had so done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, so that their net brake. 7. And they beckoned to their partners which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them, who came then and filled both the ships, that they did sink. ⟨p. 364⟩8. Now when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus knees saying: Lord go from me, for I am a sinful man. 9. For he was utterly astonied and all that were with him, for the draught of fishes which they took. 10. And so was also James and John the sons of Zebedeus, which were companions with Simon. Then Jesus said unto Simon: fear not: from hence forth thou shalt catch men. 11. And when they had brought the ships to land, they forsook all and followed him.
