[4] When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch." [5] Simon answered him, "Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the net." [6] When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking. [7] They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
