Jesus Chooses Peter (Luke 5:1-11) One day, Jesus was teaching in front of a very big crowd. It was so crowded that he spotted a boat nearby that belonged to a fisherman named Peter and climbed into it. When he was done teaching, he turned to Peter and said, “If you take the boat over there, you will catch lots of fish.” Peter wasn’t so sure, but he decided to trust Jesus anyway. Before they knew it, there were so many fish that their nets almost broke! Everyone was amazed by the miracle they just witnessed. Then Peter dropped his nets and left everything he had to follow Jesus!
