And when he left off speaking, he said unto Simon, 'Put back to the deep, and let down your nets for a draught;'
5 And having answered, Simon said to him, Master, having toiled through the whole night, we took nothing, but at thy saying, I will let down the net.
and Simon answering said to him, 'Master, through the whole night, having laboured, we have taken nothing, but at thy saying I will let down the net.'
6 And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net was tearing.
