The Transformation of a Fisherman into a Fisher of Men in Luke 5:4-11
In Luke 5:4-11, the story of a fisherman, Simon Peter, encountering Jesus and experiencing a miraculous catch of fish is shared. Initially hesitant, Peter follows Jesus' command to cast his nets where they catch an overwhelming amount of fish. Overwhelmed by the miracle, Peter recognizes his sinfulness but is reassured by Jesus that he will now "catch men." Peter, along with his partners James and John, decide to abandon their boats and follow Jesus, symbolizing a shift from fishermen to fishers of men.

A Fisherman Becomes a Fisher of Men Luke 5:4-11
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for 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. Luke 5:4-11
