2. Jesus saw two boats at the shore of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.
3. Jesus got into one of the boats, the one which belonged to Simon. Jesus asked Simon to push off a little from the land. Then Jesus sat down in the boat and continued to teach the people on the shore.
4. When Jesus had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Take the boat into deep water. If you will put your nets in the water, you will catch some fish.”
5. Simon answered, “Master, we worked hard all night trying to catch fish, but we caught nothing. But you say to put the nets in the water; so I will.”
6. The fishermen did as Jesus told them. And they caught so many fish that the nets began to break.
