Simon Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before
Jesus and said, "Oh Lord, please leave me--I'm too much of a sinner to
be around you." For he was awestruck by the number of fish they had
caught, as were the others with him. His partners, James and John, the
sons of Zebedee, were also amazed. Jesus replied to Simon, "Don't be
afraid! From now on you'll be fishing for people!" And as soon as they
landed, they left everything and followed Jesus.
