Home Town: All the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they

heard these things; (Luke 4:28 )Elsewhere: They were amazed at His teaching, for His message was given with

authority. (Luke 4:32f) …the crowds were searching for Him, and came to Him and tried to

keep Him from going away from them.But He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this purpose." (Lk.4:42-43)

Then: When He had finished speaking, He said to

Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

Simon answered and said, “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing!”Luke 5:4-5


Then: “…but I will do as You say and let down the

nets.” When they had done this, they enclosed a

great quantity of fish, and their nets began to break…they filled both of the boats, so that they began to sink. Luke 5:5b-7

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23



And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” John 3:36

Jesus said to Simon, "Do not fear, from now on you will be catching men." Luke 5:9-10

Then He *said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest." Matthew 9:36-38

When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him. Luke 5:9-11
