1 AND it was while the assembly gathered upon him to hear the word of Aloha, he stood upon the bank of the sea of Genesar;

2 and he saw two vessels standing by the sea-side, and the fishermen who had gone up from them, and were washing their nets.

3 And one of them was of Shemun Kipha; and Jeshu ascended, sat in it, and directed that they should take it a little from the land into the waters; and he sat, and taught the multitudes from the vessel.

4 And when he was silent from his discourses, he said to Shemun, Lead into the deep, and cast forth your nets for a draught.

5 Shemun answered and said to him, Rabi, the whole night we have laboured and nothing have we taken; but at thy word I throw the net.

6 And when they had this done, they enclosed great multitudes of fishes, and their net brake.

7 And they signed to their companions, who were in another vessel, to come and help them. And when they had come, they filled those two vessels, so that they were nigh to be swallowed up.

8 But when Shemun Kipha saw, he fell before the feet of Jeshu and said to him, I pray from thee, my Lord, remove thee from me, for I am a man a sinner.

9 For amazement had seized him, and all who were with him, on account of the draught of fishes which they had taken.

10 Even so also Jacub and Juchanon, sons of Zabdai, who were partners of Shemun. But Jeshu said, Fear not, from henceforth the sons of men shalt thou catch unto life.

11 And they brought the vessels to land, and forsook every thing, and went after him.
