Peter and his partners had been up all night fishing - Luke 5:1-11
After Jesus' command/request, he said "because you say so, I will let down the nets"
It may have took a lot to do this:
Tired from fishing all night
A carpenter asking a fisherman to fish during the worst time to fish - during the day
Peter was elated at such a monumental catch - may have been the equivent of days or weeks worth of fishing
Did Peter try to immediately recruit Jesus as a fishing guide? No
Instead he was fearful: "Go away from me, Lord. I am a sinful man! - v8
He saw Jesus' power over the fish in the lake - special because it was from his own trade
He recognized that he somehow was in the presence of God
Jesus said nothing about Peter's sin - Peter now saw who Jesus really was
Peter fell down before Jesus not because his sin but Jesus' deity Key Phrase:Peter fell down before Jesus not because his sin but Jesus' deity
