1
And it came to pass that, as the people pressed upon Him to hear the Word of God, He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret
2
and saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen were gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3
And He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the people from the boat.
4
Now when He was through speaking, He said unto Simon, "Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draft."
5
And Simon answering said unto Him, "Master, we have toiled all the night and have taken nothing. Nevertheless, at Thy word I will let down the net."
6
And when they had done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net began to break.
