1 Corinthians 16:13-24 (Epistle) 13 Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.14 Let all that you do be done with love.

15 I urge you, brethren – you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and

that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints –

16 that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and labors with us.17 I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for what was lacking on your

part they supplied.

18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church

that is in their house.

20 All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.21 The salutation with my own hand – Paul’s.

22 If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!

23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Luke 5:1-11 (Gospel)

1 So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of

Gennesaret,

2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing

their nets.3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land.

And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your netsfor a catch.”

5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing;nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.”

6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.

7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled

both the boats, so that they began to sink.

8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful

man, O Lord!”

9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus

said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.”

11 So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.
