Luke 5:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ Jesus got into one of the boats, the one that belonged to Simon [^CPeter], and asked him to push off a little from the ·land [shore]. Then Jesus sat down and continued to teach the people from the boat.

⁴ When Jesus had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Take the boat into deep water, and ·put [let down] your nets in the water to catch some fish.”

⁵ Simon answered, “Master, we ·worked [labored] hard all night trying to catch fish, and we caught nothing. But ·you say [because you say; ^Lupon your word] to put the nets in the water, so I will.”
