1And it came to pass, in the multitude pressing on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret,
2and he saw two boats standing beside the lake, and the fishers, having gone away from them, were washing the nets,
3and having entered into one of the boats, that was Simon`s, he asked him to put back a little from the land, and having sat down, was teaching the multitudes out of the boat.
4And when he left off speaking, he said unto Simon, `Put back to the deep, and let down your nets for a draught;`
5and Simon answering said to him, `Master, through the whole night, having laboured, we have taken nothing, but at thy saying I will let down the net.`
6And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net was breaking,
7and they beckoned to the partners, who [are] in the other boat, having come, to help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, so that they were sinking.
