New Testament

Luke 5:5-12 Amplified Bible (AMP)

5. And Simon (Peter) answered, Master, we toiled all night [exhaustingly] and caught nothing [in our nets]. But on the ground of Your word, I will lower the nets [again].

6. And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish; and as their nets were [at the point of] breaking,

7. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and take hold with them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

8. But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

9. For he was gripped with bewildering amazement [allied to terror], and all who were with him, at the haul of fish which they had made;

10. And so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon (Peter). And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from now on you will be catching men!

11. And after they had run their boats on shore, they left everything and joined Him as His disciples and sided with His party and accompanied Him.

12. While He was in one of the towns, there came a man full of (covered with) leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, Lord, if You are willing, You are able to cure me and make me clean.
