Jesus got into Peter's boat and taught the crowd from the water.
Then Jesus said, “Go out deeper and let down your nets.” Peter said, “We fished all night and caught nothing! But because you say so, I will.”
Suddenly the nets were so full of fish they started to break! Peter knelt down and was amazed. Jesus said, “Don't be afraid. From now on you'll catch people!”
