from them and were washing their nets. (3) Then He
got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and
asked him to put out a little from the land. And He
sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
(4) When He had stopped speaking, He said to
Simon, "Launch out into the deep and let down
your nets for a catch." (5) But Simon answered and
