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.
8When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”
9For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,
10and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”
