Four Fishermen Called as Disciples
1 So ait was, as the multitude pressed about Him to bhear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,
2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.
3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He asat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, a“Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught anothing; nevertheless bat Your word I will let down the net.”
6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.
7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, a“Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
9 For he and all who were with him were aastonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;
10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. aFrom now on you will catch men.”
11 So when they had brought their boats to land, athey forsook all and followed Him.
Jesus Cleanses a Leper
12 aAnd it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of bleprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and1 implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
