Luke 5:1-13

¹Then it came to passe, as the people preassed vpon him to heare the word of God, that he stoode by the lake of Gennesaret,

²And sawe two shippes stand by the lakes side, but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nettes.

³And he entred into one of the ships, which was Simons, and required him that he would thrust off a litle from the land: and he sate downe, and taught the people out of the ship.

⁴Now when he had left speaking, he sayd vnto Simon, Lanch out into the deepe, and let downe your nettes to make a draught.

⁵Then Simon answered, and sayd vnto him, Master, we haue trauailed sore all night, and haue taken nothing: neuerthelesse at thy worde I will let downe the net.

⁶And when they had so done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, so that their net brake.

⁷And they beckened to their parteners, which were in the other ship, that they shoulde come and helpe them, who came then, and filled both the ships, that they did sinke.

⁸Now when Simon Peter saw it, he fel down at Iesus knees, saying, Lord, go from me: for I am a sinfull man.

⁹For he was vtterly astonied, and all that were with him, for the draught of fishes which they tooke.

¹⁰And so was also Iames and Iohn the sonnes of Zebedeus, which were companions with Simon. Then Iesus sayde vnto Simon, Feare not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

¹¹And when they had brought the ships to land, they forsooke all, and followed him.

¹²Nowe it came to passe, as he was in a certaine citie, beholde, there was a man full of leprosie, and when he sawe Iesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me cleane.

¹³So he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will, be thou cleane. And immediately the leprosie departed from him.
