And when he had done speaking, he said to Simon, Put out into deep water, and let down your nets for a draught.
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 Simon answering said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing; but at thy word I will let down the nets.
