Miraculous Catch of Fish
Jesus tells the fisherman who owns it to push out farther and let down their nets. The fisherman grumbles that he and the others have already been out all night long. They didn't catch anything. The fisherman agrees to go out and calls to his partners. Jesus sits in the boat with the fisherman. He waits expectantly. Then gathers the nets, slowly bringing something to the surface. He laughs with joy when he sees the nets are full of flopping fish. When they're done, the fisherman sits in a boat full of fish. He looks up to Jesus. The fisherman frowns and says, "Go away from me, Lord. I am a sinful man." Jesus tells him not to be afraid, that from then on, he would be a fisher of men.

ShareWhen Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” “Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.” When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear. So 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. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.” For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, and 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.” And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.
