The scriptures below are from the WEB Bible.

Matthew 13:47-51,
47) "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,
48) which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49) So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous,
50) and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth."
51) Jesus said to them, "Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes, Lord."


Luke 5:1-11
1) Now it happened, while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
2) He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3) 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 out of the boat.
4) When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch."
5) Simon answered him, "Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the net."
6) When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
7) They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
8) But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus‘ knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord."
9) For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
10) and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, "Don‘t be afraid. From now on you will catch men alive."
11) When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.


John 21:1-14
1) After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
2) Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
3) Simon Peter said to them, "I‘m going fishing." They told him, "We are also coming with you." They immediately went forth, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.
4) But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn‘t know that it was Jesus.
5) Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."
6) He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.
7) That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It‘s the Lord!" So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.
8) But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.
9) So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
10) Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."
11) Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net wasn‘t torn.
12) Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." None of the disciples dared inquire of him, "Who are you?" knowing that it was the Lord.
13) Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
14) This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.
