And it came to pass, that when the multitudes pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Genesareth,
2
And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3
And going into one of the ships that was Simon’s, he desired him to draw back a little from the land. And sitting, he taught the multitudes out of the ship.
4
Now when he had ceased to speak, he said to Simon: Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a draught.
5
And Simon answering said to him: Master, we have laboured all the night and have taken nothing: but at thy word I will let down the net.
6
And when they had done this, they enclosed a very great multitude of fishes: and their net broke.
