1 And it came to pass, when the people were crowding together to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,

2 And he saw two boats standing in the lake; and the fishermen came out of them and washed their nets.

3 And having entered into a certain boat, which was Simon's, he bade him sail a little from the shore, and sat down, and taught the people out of the boat.

4 And when he had ceased teaching, he said to Simon, 'Sail out into the depths, and cast your nets to fish.'

5 Simon answered and said to him, "Master! we labored all night and caught nothing, but according to Thy word I will cast a net.

6 And when they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and even their nets were broken.

7 And they gave a sign to the companions who were in the other boat, that they should come to help them; And they came, and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.

8 And when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down on the knees of Jesus, and said, "Depart from me, O Lord! Because I am a sinful man.

9 For terror came upon him, and all that were with him, because of this fishing of the fish which they caught;

10 And also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were companions of Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; From now on you will catch men.

11 And having pulled the two boats ashore, they left everything and followed him.

12 And it came to pass, when Jesus was in a certain city, that a man was covered with leprosy, and when he saw Jesus, he fell down on his face, beseeching him, saying, 'Lord! If you want, you can cleanse me.

13 And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said, 'I will, be cleansed.' And immediately the leprosy went away from him.

14 And he commanded him not to tell anyone, but to go and show himself to the priest, and offer a sacrifice for his purification, as Moses had commanded, for a witness to them.
