Luke

Luke 5:1–3

¹On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret^a with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God, ²He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. ³Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.
