1 It happened that the crowds were pressing upon Yeshua to hear the word of God as He was standing by the Lake of Kinneret,
2 when He saw two boats standing beside the lake. Now the fishermen had left them and were washing the nets.
3 Getting into one of the boats, Simon’s boat, Yeshua asked him to push out a ways from the land. Then sitting down, He taught the crowds from the boat.
4 When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Go out into the deep water, and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Simon replied, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and caught nothing. But at Your word I will let down the nets.”
6 When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets began to break.
7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
