Luke 5:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 5:7

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.”
