Amplified Bible

Luke 5:2-8 Amplified Bible (AMP)

2. And He saw two boats drawn up by the lake, but the fishermen had gone down from them and were washing their nets.

3. And getting into one of the boats, [the one] that belonged to Simon (Peter), He requested him to draw away a little from the shore. Then He sat down and continued to teach the crowd [of people] from the boat.

4. When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon (Peter), Put out into the deep [water], and lower your nets for a haul.

5. And Simon (Peter) answered, Master, we toiled all night [exhaustingly] and caught nothing [in our nets]. But on the ground of Your word, I will lower the nets [again].

6. And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish; and as their nets were [at the point of] breaking,

7. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and take hold with them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

8. But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
