Thematic Bible: First miraculous catch of fish

And it came to pass, while the multitude is pressing on Him to hear the word of God, and He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret; and He saw two ships standing by the lake: the fishermen, having gone from them, were washing their nets. And having come into one of the ships, which belonged to Simon, He asked him to lead out a little from the land, and sitting down He was teaching the multitudes from the ship. read more.
When He ceased speaking He said to Simon, Lead out into the deep, and spread your nets for a draught. And Simon responding said to Him, Master, having toiled all night, we caught nothing: but at thy word I will spread the net. And having done this, they caught a great multitude of fishes; and their net was breaking; and they beckoned to their comrades in another ship, having come to assist them, And they came, and filled both ships, so as to sink them. And Simon Peter, seeing, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying; Depart from me, Lord, because I am a sinful man, For fear took hold of him, and all of those with him, at the draught of fishes which they received. And likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were companions to Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; from now you shall be catching men. And drawing up their ships to the land, having left all things, they followed Him.
