Summary
Luke 5:3

5:1. It came to pass, that when the multitudes pressed upon Him to hear the word of God, He stood by the lake of Gennesaret



5:2. and saw two ships situated by the lake, but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.

'''5:3. Going into one of the ships, which was Simon's, He desired him to draw back a little from the land. He sat and taught the multitudes out of the ship.'''



5:4. Now when He had ceased to speak, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

5:5. Simon answered Him, “Master, we have labored all night and have taken nothing, but at Your word I will let down the net.”



5:6. When they had done this, they caught a very great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
