Luke 5:5-15

⁵And in answer Simon said to Him, “Master, we have worked hard the whole night and caught nothing, but based on your word I will let down the net.”

⁶When they had done this, they caught such a large number of fish that their net began to tear.

⁷So they signaled to their partners who were in the other boat to come help them; they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

⁸Upon experiencing this Simon Peter fell at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!”

⁹Because astonishment gripped him and all who were with him at the haul of fish which they had caught;

¹⁰yes, this included James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don't be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.”

¹¹Pulling the boats up on the shore, they left it all and followed Him.

¹²Now it happened, while He was in one of the towns—a man full of leprosy! Upon seeing Jesus he fell on his face and begged Him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can cleanse me!”

¹³So He extended His hand and touched him, saying, “I want to; be cleansed!” Immediately the leprosy left him.

¹⁴Then He ordered him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing just as Moses prescribed, as a testimony to them.”

¹⁵However the news about Him spread all the more, and large crowds kept gathering to hear and to be healed by Him of their sicknesses.
