Luke 5:4-11

4 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ^a“Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 And Simon answered, “Master, ^bwe toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this, ^cthey enclosed a large number of fish, and ^dtheir nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. ^eAnd they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, ^f“Depart from me, for ^gI am a sinful man, O Lord.” 9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” ^{▼▼The Greek word anthropoi refers here to both men and women} 11 And when they had brought their boats to land, ⁱthey left everything and followed him.
