Luke 5:1-12

¹And it was done, when the people came fast to Jesus, to hear the word of God, he stood beside the pool or the water of Gennesaret, (or he stood by Lake Gennesaret, that is, Lake Galilee),

²and saw two boats standing beside the pool or (at the edge of) the water; and the fishers were gone down, and washed their nets, (or and the fishermen had left them, and were washing their nets).

³And he went up into a boat, that was Simon’s, and prayed (or asked) him to lead it a little from the land; and he sat, and taught the people out of the boat.

⁴And as he ceased to speak, he said to Simon, Lead out into the depth, and slack ye your nets to take (some) fish.

⁵And Simon answered, and said to him, Commander, we travailed all the night, and took nothing, but in thy word I shall lay out the net. (And Simon answered, and said to him, Master, (or Teacher), we laboured all night, and took nothing, but at thy word I shall lay out the net.)

⁶And when they had done this thing, they (en)closed together a great multitude of fishes; and their net was broken.

⁷And they beckoned to fellows, that were in another boat, that they should come, and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they were almost drenched (or so that they were almost drowned).

⁸And when Simon Peter saw this thing, he felled down to the knees of Jesus, and said, Lord, go (away) from me, for I am a sinful man.

⁹For he was on each side astonied (or astonished), and all that were with him, in the taking of (the) fishes which they took.

¹⁰Soothly in like manner James and John, the sons of Zebedee, that were fellows of Simon Peter. And Jesus said to Simon, Do not thou dread (or Do not fear); now from this time thou shalt take men.

¹¹And when the boats were led up to the land, they left all things, and they (pur)sued him (or and they followed him).

¹²And it was done, when he was in one of the cities, lo! a man full of leprosy; and seeing Jesus (he) fell down on his face, and prayed him (or and beseeched him), and said, Lord, if thou wilt, thou mayest make me clean.
