When He had finishedspeaking, He said to Simon, "Put out into the deepwater and 1letdown your nets for a catch."
5
Simonanswered and said, "2Master, 3we workedhardallnight and caughtnothing, but I will do as You say and letdown the nets."
6
When they had donethis, 4they enclosed a greatquantity of fish, and their nets began to break;
7
so they signaled to their partners in the otherboat for them to come and help them. And they came and filledboth of the boats, so that they began to sink.
8
But when SimonPetersaw that, he felldown at Jesus'feet, saying, "Goaway from me Lord, for I am a sinfulman, O Lord!"
9
For amazement had seized him and all his companions*because of the catch of fishwhich they had taken;
10
and soalso were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesussaid to Simon, "5Do not fear, from now on you will be 6catchingmen."
11
When they had brought their boats to land, 7they lefteverything and followed Him.
The Leper and the Paralytic
128While He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a mancovered with leprosy; and when he sawJesus, he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You canmake me clean."
13
And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I amwilling; be cleansed." And immediately the leprosyleft him.
14
And He ordered him to tellnoone, "But go and 9showyourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Mosescommanded, as a testimony to them."
