NASB — Luke 5 — KJV

The First Disciples

1 aNow° it happened° that while° the crowd° was pressing° around° Him and listening° to the word° of God°, He was standing° by bthe lake° of Gennesaret°; 2 and He saw° two° boats° lying° at the edge of the lake°; but the fishermen° had gotten° out of them and were washing° their nets°. 3 And aHe got° into one° of the boats°, which° was Simon’s°, and asked° him to put° out a little° way° from the land°. And He sat° down° and [began] teaching° the Ipeople° from the boat°. 4 When° He had finished° speaking°, He said° to Simon°, “Put° out into the deep° water° and alet° down° your nets° for a catch°.” 5 Simon° answered° and said°, “aMaster°, bwe worked° hard° all° night° and caught° nothing°, but II will do as You say° [and] let° down° the nets°.” 6 When they had done° this°, athey enclosed° a great° quantity° of fish°, and their nets° [began] to break°; 7 so° they signaled° to their partners° in the other° boat° for them to come° and help° them. And they came° and filled° both° of the boats°, so° that they began to sink°. 8 But when Simon° Peter° saw° [that], he fell° down° at Jesus’° Ifeet°, saying°, “Go° away° from me Lord°, for I am° a sinful° man°!” 9 For amazement° had seized° him and all° his companions°° because° of the catch° of fish° which° they had taken°; 10 and so° also° [were] IJames° and John°, sons° of Zebedee°, who° were partners° with Simon°. And Jesus° said° to Simon°, aDo not fear°, from now° on you will be bcatching° men°.” 11 When they had brought° their boats° to land°, athey left° everything° and followed° Him.
