5. Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets."
6. When they had done so, they caught a large number of fish. There were so many that their nets began to break.
7. So they motioned 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.
8. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees. "Go away from me, Lord!" he said. "I am a sinful man!"
9. He and everyone with him were amazed at the number of fish they had caught.
10. So were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who worked with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid. From now on you will catch people."
11. So they pulled their boats up on shore. Then they left everything and followed him.
12. While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along. He had a skin disease all over his body. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground. He begged him, "Lord, if you are willing to make me 'clean,' you can do it."
