Luke 5 Intro: Great draught of fishes -- Calling of Peter, James, John, and Levi --Christ healeth the palsy -- Parable of new wine, and old bottles.
1 And it came to pass, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing on the lake; but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were wetting their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now, when he had done speaking, he said to Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your net for a draught.
5 And Simon answering, said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing; nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, who were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw the multitude of fishes, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 For he was astonished, and all who were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken.
10 And so were also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not from henceforth, for thou shalt catch men.
