Luke 5:1-11 , Matthew 10:1-4
King James Version
Luke 5:1-11
[1] And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear
the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
[2] And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone
out of them, and were washing their nets.
[3] And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed
him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught
the people out of the ship.
[4] Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into
the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
[5] And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the
night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
[6] And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of
fishes: and their net brake.
[7] And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship,
that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships,
so that they began to sink.
[8] When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart
from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
[9] For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of
the fishes which they had taken:
[10] And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were
partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou
shalt catch men.
[11] And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and
followed him.
Matthew 10:1-4
[1] And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them
power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of
sickness and all manner of disease.
[2] Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who
is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his
brother;
[3] Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the
son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
[4] Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
