The Story
The story of Jesus and the miraculous catch of fish is found in the Bible, in the book of Luke, chapter 5, verses 1-11. The story goes that Jesus was preaching to a crowd of people by the Sea of Galilee. He saw two boats by the shore, and he got into one of them, which belonged to Simon Peter.
Jesus asked Simon to push the boat out a little from the shore so he could continue preaching to the crowd. After he finished preaching, he told Simon to go out into deeper water and let down his nets for a catch of fish.
The Miracle
Simon was hesitant to do what Jesus had asked. He had been fishing all night and had caught nothing. But, he decided to obey Jesus and let down his nets anyway. When he did, he caught so many fish that his nets began to break and his boat began to sink.
Simon was amazed at what had happened and fell down at Jesus' feet, saying, "Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!" But Jesus told him not to be afraid and that from now on, he would catch people instead of fish.
