Luke 5:1-3

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

1 On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by 1the lake of Gennesaret,
2 2and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were 3washing their nets.
3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And 4he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
