The call of the first
disciples “I
will make you fishers of men” Luke 5:1-11 One day as Jesus was standing by the
Lake of Genesee, with the people crowding around him and listening to the
word of God, Jesus saw at the water's edge two
boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. Jesus got into one of the boats, the one belonging to
Peter, and asked him to put out a little from
shore. Then Jesus sat down and taught the
people from the boat. When Jesus had
finished speaking, he said to Peter, "Put out
into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch."
Peter
answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught
anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets."
When they had done so, they caught such a large number
of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in
the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats
so full that they began to sink. When Peter saw
this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go
away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!" For Peter
and all his companions were surprised at the catch of fish they had
taken, and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Peter's partners.
Then Jesus said to Peter,
"Don't be afraid; from now on you will be fishers of men." So they pulled
their boats up on shore, left everything and followed
him. Activities:
