145:1.1 On Friday morning of this same week, when [[Jesus]] was [[teaching]] by the seaside, the people crowded him so near the [[water]]'s edge that he [[signal]]ed to some [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman fishermen] occupying a near-by boat to come to his rescue. Entering the boat, he [[continued]] to [[teach]] the assembled [[multitude]] for more than two hours. This boat was named " Simon "; it was the former fishing vessel of [[Peter, the Apostle|Simon Peter]] and had been built by [[Jesus]]' own hands. On this particular morning the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boatbuidling boat] was being used by [[David Zebedee]] and [[two]] [[associates]], who had just come in near shore from a fruitless night of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing fishing] on the [[lake]]. They were cleaning and mending their nets when [[Jesus]] requested them to come to his [[assistance]].
145:1.2 After [[Jesus]] had finished [[teaching]] the people, he said to David: " As you were [[delayed]] by coming to my help, now let me [[work]] with you. Let us go [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing fishing]; put out into yonder deep and let down your nets for a draught. " But Simon, one of David's assistants, answered: " Master, it is useless. We toiled all night and took nothing; however, at your bidding we will put out and let down the nets. " And Simon [[consented]] to follow [[Jesus]]' directions because of a [[gesture]] made by his master, David. When they had [[proceeded]] to the place designated by [[Jesus]], they let down their nets and enclosed such a multitude of fish that they feared the nets would break, so much so that they [[signal]]ed to their [[associates]] on the shore to come to their [[assistance]]. When they had filled all three boats with fish, almost to sinking, this Simon fell down at [[Jesus]]' knees, saying, " Depart from me, Master, for I am a [[sinful]] man. " Simon and all who were concerned in this [[episode]] were [[amazed]] at the draught of fishes. From that day [[David Zebedee]], this Simon, and their [[associates]] forsook their nets and followed [[Jesus]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_5]
145:1.3 But this was in no sense a [[miraculous]] draught of fishes. [[Jesus]] was a close [[student]] of [[nature]]; he was an [[experienced]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman fisherman] and knew the [[habits]] of the fish in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Galilee Sea of Galilee]. On this occasion he merely directed these men to the place where the fish were usually to be found at this time of day. But [[Jesus]]' [[Disciples|followers]] always regarded this as a [[miracle]].
