Luke 5:5-15

5 And Simon answered, "Master, ¹we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets."

6 And when they had done this, ²they enclosed a large number of fish, and ³their nets were breaking.

7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. ⁴And 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, ⁵"Depart from me, for ⁶I 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, ⁷they left everything and followed him.

Jesus Cleanses a Leper

12 While he was in one of the cities, ⁸there came a man full of leprosy.^[a] And when he saw Jesus, he ⁹fell on his face and begged him, "Lord, ¹⁰if 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.

14 And he charged him ¹¹to tell no one, but "go and show ¹²yourself to the priest, and ¹³make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, ¹⁴for a proof to them."

15 ¹⁵But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities.
