004:041 Demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying,
"You are the Christ, the Son of God!" Rebuking them, he didn't
allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
004:042 When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place,
and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held
on to him, so that he wouldn't go away from them.
004:043 But he said to them, "I must preach the good news of the
Kingdom of God to the other cities also. For this reason I
have been sent."
004:044 He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
005:001 Now it happened, while the multitude pressed on him and heard
the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
005:002 He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had
gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
005:003 He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's,
and asked him to put out a little from the land.
He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
005:004 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into
the deep, and let down your nets for a catch."
005:005 Simon answered him, "Master, we worked all night, and took nothing;

005:006 When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish,
and their net was breaking.
005:007 They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they

so that they began to sink.
005:008 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus'

you can make me clean."
005:013 He stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I want to.
Be made clean." Immediately the leprosy left him.
005:014 He charged him to tell no one, "But go your way, and show
