1. 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 labored all the night, and have taken nothing: but at thy word I will let down the net.
