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.”  ‡

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.
