Jesus told some fishermen who had caught no fish all night to throw their nets into the deep water. Though tired, the fishermen did as Jesus said. When they cast their nets in the deep water, they caught so many fish their nets began to break. They called to their friends for help, and both boats were soon filled with fish, providing a miraculous catch.

2. Fish! And More Fish!
Based on Luke 5:4-7.

3. Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee and saw fishermen
washing their nets on the beach.

4. “Sail your boat out into deep water,” Jesus told them.
“And then throw out your fishing nets.”

5. Simon, one of the fishermen, looked at Jesus with tired eyes
and said, “Master, we have been fishing all night long.”

6. “We didn’t catch any fish! Not even one!”

7. However, the fishermen decided to do as Jesus said,
and they went out to sea again.

8. When they were in the deep water,
they cast their nets once again.

9. By a miracle, their nets filled up with so many fish
that the nets almost broke.

10. “Come, give us a hand!” the fishermen called to their friends
in another boat. Soon both boats were full of fish!

11. The men sailed back to shore with plenty of fish to sell at the
market. What a wonderful miracle Jesus had done!
