00:00By the sunlit shores of Lake Gennesaret, crowds pressed closely around Jesus to hear the Word of
00:05God. Seeing two empty fishing boats beside the lake, Jesus stepped into Simon's boat and taught
00:11from the water. When he finished speaking, Jesus looked at weary Simon and said, Put out into the
00:17deep and lower your nets. Simon answered, Master, we toiled all night and took nothing, yet at your
00:23word I will lower the nets. Rowing out into the deep blue waters in humble obedience, the fishermen
00:29cast their heavy nets into the sea. Suddenly, they enclosed such a vast multitude of fish, that their
00:35straining nets began to tear beneath the waves. They signaled their partners in the other boat to
00:40come help, filling both vessels until they nearly sank. Beholding this miracle, Simon Peter fell at
00:46Jesus's knees, crying, Depart from me Lord, for I am a sinful man. Jesus looked upon him with tender
00:52mercy and spoke, Do not be afraid, from now on, you will catch men. Bringing their boats back to land,
00:58they left everything behind on the shore, and followed Jesus with their lives.
