New King James Version (NKJV)

Four Fishermen Called as Disciples
5 So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him
to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the
fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. 3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was
Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the
multitudes from the boat.
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to
Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a
catch.”

5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have
toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the
net.” 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great
number of fish, and their net was breaking.7 So they
signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they
came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon
Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a
sinful man, O Lord!”

9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at
the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and so
also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon.
And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch
men.” 11 So when they had brought their
boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.
