1 As the people pressed upon Him to hear the word of God, He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret
2 and saw two boats beside the lake. But the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3 He entered one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to thrust it out a little from the land. Then He sat down and taught the people from the boat.
4 When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Simon answered Him, “Master, we have worked all night and have caught nothing. But at Your word I will let down the net.”
