Luke 5:5-15

⁵Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”

⁶When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.

⁷They 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.

⁸But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”

⁹For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;

¹⁰and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”

¹¹When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.

¹²While he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

¹³He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

¹⁴He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

¹⁵But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
