When Jesus was finished speaking, he told Simon to go out to deeper water and cast his nets. Simon stated that they had fished all night long without catching any fish. But then Simon agreed saying,
"Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets." (Luke5:5).
The nets were suddenly filled with fish and began to break. They signaled their partners in the other boat for help. They came and filled both boats that they began to sink.
"When Simon saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away from me Lord; I am a sinful man." (Luke 5:8).
Jesus replied in (Luke 5:10), "Don't be afraid: from now on, you will catch men".
Upon pulling the boats to shore, Peter and his partners left everything and followed Jesus.
