Synopsis

The story of Peter’s huge catch of fish, retold by Jennifer Rees Larcombe and illustrated by Steve Bjorkman for the BEST BIBLE STORIES SERIES.

Peter and his brother, Andrew, were miserable because they had been out in their boat all night without catching a single fish. Just as they were packing up to go home, they saw Jesus on the shore.

To Peter’s surprise, Jesus asked him if he would row him out from the shore in his boat, so he could talk to all the people in the crowd. For hours they rocked in the sunshine, with Jesus telling stories to everybody.

Then, Jesus asked if they chould go fishing. Peter thought he was crazy, wanting to go fishing at midday, but Jesus persisted, until Peter and his brother threw the nets over the side of the boat. Almost at once, an amazing thing happened. They caught such a huge shoal of fish, the boat nearly capsized, and the nets almost broke as they dragged them out of the water.

Peter was amazed, and told Jesus that he wasn’t good enough for this happen to him. But Jesus knew that Peter and Andrew were just right to come and be his special helpers.
