Luke 5:3 CPDV

¹  Now it happened that, when the crowds pressed toward him, so that they might hear the word of God, he was standing beside the lake of Genesaret.

²  And he saw two boats standing beside the lake. But the fishermen had climbed down, and they were washing their nets.

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.'
