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.
8. But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Yeshua’s knees, saying, “Go away from me, Master, for I am a sinful man!”
9. For amazement had gripped him and all who were with him, over the catch of fish they had netted;
10. so also Jacob and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were partners with Simon. But Yeshua said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on, you will be catching men.”
11. So when they had brought the boats to the landing, they left everything and followed Him.
12. Now while Yeshua was in one of the towns, a man covered with tza'arat appeared. And when he saw Yeshua, he fell on his face and begged Him, saying, “Master, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
13. Yeshua stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be cleansed!” Immediately, the tza'arat left him.
14. Yeshua ordered him to tell no one, but commanded him, “Go and show yourself to the kohen. Then bring an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
15. But the news about Yeshua was spreading all the more, and many crowds were coming together to hear and to be healed of their diseases.
16. Yet He would often slip away into the wilderness and pray.
17. Now on one of those days, Yeshua was teaching. Pharisees and Torah scholars were sitting there, who had come from every village of the Galilee and Judea, as well as from Jerusalem. And Adonai’s power to heal was in Him.
