having finished his sermon, he said to Simon, row into deep water, and throw out your nets for a draught. master, said Simon, we have toil'd all the night, without any prize: however, since you give the word, I will throw the net. which being done, they enclosed such a multitude of fish, the net began to break: so they made a signal to their partners in the other ship to come and help them. accordingly they came, and loaded both the boats so with fish that they began to sink. at sight of this, Simon Peter fell on his knees before Jesus, and said, Lord, withdraw from such a sinful man as I: for he, and all the company were frightned at the draught of fish they had taken: so was James too, and John, the sons of Zebedee, both partners with Simon. but Jesus said to Simon, be not afraid; for the future you shall fish for men. then having brought their boats to shore, they left every thing, and followed him.
