When Jesus was all done speaking He turned to

Simon and said, Now go out into the deep

water and let down your nets.

been fishing all night and we havent caught

anything. But, because you told me to I will golet down my nets.

So, Simon let down his nets and when he

started to pull them back up there were so

many fish he had to ask his friends to comehelp him.

his knees before Jesus.

catch fish, but men.
