While the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret. He saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.

Getting into one of the boats, which was Simons, he asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the people from the boat. When he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.

Simon answered, master, we toiled all night and took nothing!
But at your word, I will let down the nets. When they had done this, they enclosed a great shoal of fish, and as their nets were breaking, they beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them.

They came and filled both the boats so that they began to sink. But when Peter Simon saw it, he fell at Jesus' knees, saying, depart from me, for I am a sinful man, o lord. He was astonished, and all that were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken, and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee who were partners with Simon.

Jesus said to Simon, do not be afraid, henceforth you will be catching men. When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
