6 The fishermen did as Jesus told them. And they caught so many fish that the nets began to break.
7 They called to their friends in the other boat to come and help them. The friends came, and both boats were filled so full that they were almost sinking.
8-9 The fishermen were all amazed at the many fish they caught. When Simon Peter saw what had happened, he bowed down before Jesus and said, “Go away from me, Lord. I am a sinful man!”
10 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were amazed too. (James and John were Simon’s partners.)Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be fishermen for men.”
11 When the men brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed Jesus.
12 One time Jesus was in a town where a very sick man lived. The man was covered with a harmful skin disease. When he saw Jesus, he bowed before Jesus and begged him, “Lord, heal me. I know you can if you want to.”
13 Jesus said, “I want to. Be healed!” And Jesus touched the man. Immediately the disease disappeared.
