When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
In context
2He saw two boats moored at the water’s edge; the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. 3He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to push out a little from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 4When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” 5Simon answered, “Master, we worked all night long and took nothing. But since you say so, I will let down the nets.” 6When they did, they closed in on such a mass of fish that their nets were beginning to tear.
