3

And so, climbing into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, he asked him to draw back a little from the land. And sitting down, he taught the crowds from the boat.

4

Then, when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, “Lead us into deep water, and release your nets for a catch.”

5

And in response, Simon said to him: “Teacher, working throughout the night, we caught nothing. But on your word, I will release the net.”

6

And when they had done this, they enclosed such a copious multitude of fish that their net was rupturing.

7

And they signaled to their associates, who were in the other boat, so that they would come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were nearly submerged.

8

But when Simon Peter had seen this, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”

For astonishment had enveloped him, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish that they had taken.
