1. And it came to pass, that as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret.
2. And saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3. And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the boat.
