- When Jesus first met me,he changed my very name

from Simon to Peter, butthe day he was preaching

to the crowds and asked meto take him a little way

off short in my boat, that was the day

that my life changed.

A multitude had gatheredby the Sea of Galilee

and listened to Jesus preach for hours.

- Put us out a little way from the land.

- [Peter] I did as the Lordrequested and he sat teaching

the crowds from my boat.

(seagulls cawing)

- Now, go out where it isdeeper and let down your nets

to catch some fish.

- Master, we worked hard all last night

and did not catch a thing.

But if you say so,

I will let the nets down again.

(calm music)

(suspenseful music)

(energetic music)

(men shouting)

- [Peter] Come help us, help us, help us!

Please help us, the nets are bursting!

- Let's lend a hand!

(exciting music)

- Pull, men, pull!

- There are too many fish.

It will sink our boat!

(exciting music)

- This is amazing!

- We have never caughtso many fish at one time!

Lord, please leave me.

I'm such a simple man.

- Do not be afraid.

From now on, you willbe fishing for people.

- And when we had broughtour boats to shore,

we gave up everything and followed Him.

- And we will always follow Him.

- Now who will help gather firewood?

The night will be cool.

I know where to find some.
