1. It happened that the crowds were pressing upon Yeshua to hear the word of God as He was standing by the Lake of Kinneret,
2. when He saw two boats standing beside the lake. Now the fishermen had left them and were washing the nets.
3. Getting into one of the boats, Simon’s boat, Yeshua asked him to push out a ways from the land. Then sitting down, He taught the crowds from the boat.
4. When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Go out into the deep water, and let down your nets for a catch.”
5. Simon replied, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and caught nothing. But at Your word I will let down the nets.”
6. When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets began to break.
7. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
