004:Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.005:And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.006:And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.007:And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.008: When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.009: For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 010: And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.


Poem Artwork

The fishermen toil with no catch until the sun had set.


Then came a man who said to them, “Launch out into the deep and let down your net.


 


The fishermen, Simon and his brother James did what the Master advised.


To their surprise the net was full of fish; a catch of multiple size.


 


Peter fell down at Jesus’ knees saying, “Depart from me for I am a man of sin.


Jesus knew his heart was good and his soul was worthy to win.


 


“Come and follow me,” said Jesus.  “I will make you fishers of men.


You will learn of love and grace and live no more in sin.
