Jesus Provides a Great Catch of Fish

(Luke 5:1-11)Slide3

Luke

5:1-3

1

On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to

hear

the word of God, he was standing by the lake of

Gennesaret

, 2 and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

5

 And Simon

answered

, “Master, we toiled all night and took

nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this

, they enclosed a large number of fish, and

their

nets were

breaking

. 7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees,

saying

, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”

9

 For he

and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon

, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching

men

.”

11

 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.Jesus Provides a Great Catch of Fish Slide6

Again

he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd

gathered

about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the

sea

, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land.

2 And he was teaching them many things in parables…

On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us

go

across to the other side.”

36

 And leaving the crowd, they took

him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling.

 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke

him

and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are

perishing

?”

39

 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” 41

 And they were filled with great fear and said to

one

another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea

obey

him?” Jesus Calms the StormSlide10

 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go

before

him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the

crowd

.

46

 And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray. 47 And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.

And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the

wind

was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night,

he

came to them, walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them,

49 but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out, 50 for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he

spoke

to them and said, “Take heart; it is I.

Do

not be afraid.”

 And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And

they

were utterly astounded,

52 

for they did not understand about

the loaves, but their hearts were hardened. Jesus

 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart;

.”

28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and

came to Jesus.

 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to

sink

he

cried

out, “Lord, save me.” 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the

wind ceased

.

33

And

 those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”Peter Attempts to Walk on the WaterSlide17
