Jesus calls disciples1One day Jesus was standing beside Lake Gennesaret when the crowd pressed in around him to hear God’s word. 2Jesus saw two boats sitting by the lake. The fishermen had gone ashore and were washing their nets. 3Jesus boarded one of the boats, the one that belonged to Simon, then asked him to row out a little distance from the shore. Jesus sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 4When he finished speaking to the crowds, he said to Simon, “Row out farther, into the deep water, and drop your nets for a catch.” 5Simon replied, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and caught nothing. But because you say so, I’ll drop the nets.” 6So they dropped the nets and their catch was so huge that their nets were splitting. 7They signaled for their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They filled both boats so full that they were about to sink. 8When Simon Peter saw the catch, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Leave me, Lord, for I’m a sinner!” 9Peter and those with him were overcome with amazement because of the number of fish they caught. 10James and John, Zebedee’s sons, were Simon’s partners and they were amazed too. Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on, you will be fishing for people.” 11As soon as they brought the boats to the shore, they left everything and followed Jesus. 2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.
