0902 Thursday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time

Gospel

While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God,
he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
He saw two boats there alongside the lake;
the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets.
Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon,
he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore.
Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,
“Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.”
Simon said in reply,
“Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing,
but at your command I will lower the nets.”
When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish
and their nets were tearing.
They signaled to their partners in the other boat
to come to help them. 
They came and filled both boats
so that the boats were in danger of sinking.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said,
“Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”
For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him
and all those with him,
and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee,
who were partners of Simon.
Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid;
from now on you will be catching men.”
When they brought their boats to the shore,
they left everything and followed him.

22ª Semana do Tempo Comum | Quinta-feira

Evangelho (Lc 5,1-11)

Naquele tempo, 1Jesus estava na margem do lago de Genesaré, e a multidão apertava-se a seu redor para ouvir a palavra de Deus. 2Jesus viu duas barcas paradas na margem do lago. Os pescadores haviam desembarcado e lavavam as redes. 3Subindo numa das barcas, que era de Simão, pediu que se afastasse um pouco da margem. Depois sentou-se e, da barca, ensinava as multidões.

4Quando acabou de falar, disse a Simão: “Avança para águas mais profundas, e lançai vossas redes para a pesca”. 5Simão respondeu: “Mestre, nós trabalhamos a noite inteira e nada pescamos. Mas, em atenção à tua palavra, vou lançar as redes”. 6Assim fizeram, e apanharam tamanha quantidade de peixes que as redes se rompiam. 7Então fizeram sinal aos companheiros da outra barca, para que viessem ajudá-los. Eles vieram, e encheram as duas barcas, a ponto de quase afundarem.

8Ao ver aquilo, Simão Pedro atirou-se aos pés de Jesus, dizendo: “Senhor, afasta-te de mim, porque sou um pecador!” 9É que o espanto se apoderara de Simão e de todos os seus companheiros, por causa da pesca que acabavam de fazer. 10Tiago e João, filhos de Zebedeu, que eram sócios de Simão, também ficaram espantados. Jesus, porém, disse a Simão: “Não tenhas medo! De hoje em diante tu serás pescador de homens”. 11Então levaram as barcas para a margem, deixaram tudo e seguiram a Jesus.
