Luke 5:9 In-Context

7 So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; and they came and filled both boats to the point of sinking.
8 When he saw this, Shim`on Kefa fell at Yeshua's knees and said, "Get away from me, sir, because I'm a sinner!"
9 For astonish ment had seized him and everyone with him at the catch of fish they had taken, and
10 likewise bothYa`akov andYochanan, Shim`on's partners. "Don't be frightened,"Yeshua said to Shim`on, "from now on you will be catching men -- alive!"
11 And as soon as they had beached their boats, they left everything behind and followed him.
