Context Readings

Jesus Calls His First Disciples

2 He saw two boats [tied up] along the shore of the lake, for the fishermen had left them [there] and were washing their nets [i.e., on the beach]. 3 So, He entered one of the boats that belonged to Simon [i.e., Peter], and asked him to launch out a short distance from shore. Then He sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 4 And when He had finished talking, He said to Simon, "Launch out into deeper water and lower your nets for a catch [of fish]."
