The Parable of the Net

47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is ^clike a net that was thrown into the sea and ^dgathered fish of every kind. 48 When it was full, ^emen drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. 49 So it will be at ^fthe end of the age. The angels will come out and ^gseparate the evil from the righteous 50 ^hand throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place ⁱthere will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Mark 1:17

17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become ^jfishers of men.” ^{▼▼The Greek word anthropoi refers here to both men and women}

Luke 5:4-10

4 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ^l“Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 And Simon answered, “Master, ^mwe toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this, ⁿthey enclosed a large number of fish, and ^otheir nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. ^pAnd 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, ^q“Depart from me, for ^rI 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}

John 21:3-11

3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but ^tthat night they caught nothing.

4 Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples ^udid not know that it was Jesus. 5 ^vJesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” 6 ^wHe said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. 7 That disciple ^xwhom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, ^yhe put on his outer garment, for he was ^zstripped for work, and ^aathrew himself into the sea. 8 The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards ^{▼▼Greek two hundred cubits; a cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters} off.

9 When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
