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 had gone out of them, and were washing [their] nets.
3
And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the boat.
4
Now when he had left speaking, he said to Simon, Lanch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5
And Simon answering said to 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 inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net broke.
