Luke 5:3-13

3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And ¹he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

4 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ²"Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."

5 And Simon answered, "Master, ³we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets."

6 And when they had done this, ⁴they enclosed a large number of fish, and ⁵their nets were breaking.

7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. ⁶And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, ⁷"Depart from me, for ⁸I am a sinful man, O Lord."

9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken,

10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men."

11 And when they had brought their boats to land, ⁹they left everything and followed him.

Jesus Cleanses a Leper

12 While he was in one of the cities, ¹⁰there came a man full of leprosy.^[a] And when he saw Jesus, he ¹¹fell on his face and begged him, "Lord, ¹²if you will, you can make me clean."

13 And Jesus^[b] stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I will; be clean." And immediately the leprosy left him.
