5 One day while Jesus was standing beside ·Lake Galilee [^Lthe Lake of Gennesaret; ^Canother name for the Sea of Galilee], many people were ·pressing [crowding] all around him to hear the word of God. ² Jesus saw two boats at the shore of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. ³ Jesus got into one of the boats, the one that belonged to Simon [^CPeter], and asked him to push off a little from the ·land [shore]. Then Jesus sat down and continued to teach the people from the boat.
