4When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
5“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”
6When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.
7So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
— Luke 5:4-7
