Over the following

days, Jesus made

many of the trips

alone. On others

Peter, Andrew,

James and John

went along.

One night Peter

and Andrew had

worked all night

fishing but had

caught nothing.

In the morning they saw Jesus approaching with

a large crowd following.

He motioned to Peter to bring the boat closer, then

He climbed inside and began preaching to the

people.

Later He told Peter to push out into the deep and

let down the nets. Being tired and reluctant and

maybe thinking he knew more than Jesus about

fishing, Peter obeyed and cast out the nets. They

drew in such a large amount of fish that the nets

started to break.

This struck Peter's conscience and he said,

"Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord,

But Jesus replied, "Fear not; from henceforth

thou shalt catch men" Luke 5:8-10 Jesus was

calling Peter into full-time ministry.
