At once (Jesus) spoke to them, "Take courage, it is I;

do not be afraid." Peter said to him in reply, "Lord, if it

is you, command me to come to you on the water."

Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to

Simon, he (Jesus) asked him to put out a short distance

from the shore. ... He said to Simon, "Put out into deep

water and lower your nets for a catch." Simon said in

reply, "Master, we have worked hard all night and have

caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the

nets." When they had done this, they caught a great

number of fish and their nets were tearing. ... When

Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus

and said, "Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man."
