Opening verses of Luke 5 (KJV)

5:2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing [their] nets.

5:3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
