And when he stopped speaking, he said to Simon, Put out into the depth, and let down your nets for a catch.
5 And Simon answering said to him, Master, having laboured through the whole night we have taken nothing, but at thy word I will let down the net.
And having answered, Simon said to him, Master, having toiled through the whole night, we took nothing, but at thy saying, I will let down the net.

9 For astonishment had laid hold on him, and on all those who were with him, at the haul of fishes which they had taken;
For astonishment surrounded him, and all those with him, at the catch of the fishes that they caught,
10 and in like manner also on James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; henceforth thou shalt be catching men.
