Luke 5:4-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down[a] your nets for a catch.”(A)
5 “Master,”(B) Simon replied, “we’ve worked hard all night long and caught nothing! But at Your word, I’ll let down the nets.”[b]
6 When they did this, they caught a great number of fish, and their nets[c] began to tear. 7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!” 9 For he and all those with him were amazed[d] at the catch of fish they took, 10 and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners.
“Don’t be afraid,”(C) Jesus told Simon. “From now on you will be catching people!”(D)
