And it came to pass while the multitude was pressing on him to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
that he saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
And he entered one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and requested him to push out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitude from the ship.
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
And when he had made an end of speaking, he said to Simon: Push out into the deep water, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”
And Simon answered and said to him: Master, we have toiled all night and have caught nothing; but at thy command, I will let down the net.
6 When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
And when they had done this, they inclosed a great number of fishes, and their net began to break;
7 They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.

and in like manner also upon James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: Fear not; from this time forth you shall catch men.
