Then Jesus sat down5.3 sat down: Teachers in the ancient world, including Jewish teachers, usually sat down when they taught.in the boat to teach the crowd.
4 When Jesus had finished speaking, he told Simon, "Row the boat out into the deep water and let your nets down to catch some fish."

But if you tell me to, I will let the nets down." 6 Jn 21.6.They did this and caught so many fish that their nets began ripping apart. 7 Then they signaled for their partners in the other boat to come and help them. The men came, and together they filled the two boats so full that they both began to sink.
8 When Simon Petersaw this happen, he knelt down in front of Jesusand said, "Lord, don’t come near me! I am a sinner." 9 Peter and everyone with him were completely surprised at all the fish they had caught. 10 His partners Jamesand John, the sons of Zebedee, were surprised too.
Jesustold Simon, "Don’t be afraid! From now on you will bring in people instead of fish." 11 The men pulled their boats up on the shore. Then they left everything and went with Jesus.
