Luke 5:6-12 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing.

7. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help them. They came and filled both boats so that they were in danger of sinking.

8. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”

9. For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him,

10. and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”

11. When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him.

12. Now there was a man full of leprosy in one of the towns where he was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him, and said, “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.”
