Thematic Bible



And, when he ceased speaking, he said unto Simon - Put off into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon, answering, said - Master! although through the whole night we toiled, we took, nothing; howbeit, at thy bidding, I will let down the nets. And, when this they had done, they enclosed a very large number of fishes, and their nets began to break. read more.
And they made signs to their partners in the other boat, to come and help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, - so that they began to sink. And Simon, beholding, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying - Depart from me! Because, a sinful man, am I, O Lord!

But, morning by this time drawing on, Jesus stood upon the beach; nevertheless, the disciples knew not that it was, Jesus. Jesus, therefore, saith unto them - Children! perhaps ye have nothing to eat? They answered him - No. And, he, said unto them - Cast the net, on the right side of the boat, - and ye shall find. They cast, therefore; and, no longer, were they able, to draw, it, for the multitude of the fishes. read more.
That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus loved, saith unto Peter - It is, the Lord! Simon Peter, therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded about him, his upper garment, - for he was naked; and cast himself into the sea; but, the other disciples, came, by the little boat, - for they were not farther from the land than about two hundred cubits off, - dragging the net of fishes. So, when they got out upon the land, they behold a coal fire lying, and fish lying over, and bread. Jesus saith unto them - Bring of the fish which ye caught just now. Simon Peter, therefore, went on board, and drew the net on to the land, - full of large fishes, a hundred and fifty-three; and, though they were so many, the net was not rent.
