Simon, it's him!
Excuse me.
Simon, that's him.
No time for this, Andrew.
It's him! Simon, it's the man. John said he's here. Right now.
May I ask a favor? I'm teaching these people and apparently they're having trouble hearing you.
If I could stand on your boat, that would be helpful.
They're having trouble hearing you, huh?
Yes, yes, of course. Please, please, stand on my boat. Thank you.
I need to go. I'm sorry. No time for this today.
Stay a few moments longer.
I have something for you.
For me?
I'm in a hurry.
Yes, I know.
Just allow me a few moments.
Please.
Simon, trust me.
As I have trusted you.
This man is the Messiah.
Good to see you again, Andrew.
Yes.
I'm Jesus. Thanks for this.
Simon.
In my last moments with you, I want to share another story.
Can everyone hear me?
Well, let's thank our friends for this strong boat, huh?
Trust me, my yelling voice is not easy on the ears.
Because I'm on this boat, my final parable should be about fishing, yes?
Simon, please send me that net.
When this net is thrown into the sea, what happens, Simon?
Well.
I mean most of the time.
It gathers.
A little louder.
It gathers fish.
Yes.
This net gathers fish.
All kinds of fish, yes?
Yes.
All kinds of fish.
And the kingdom of heaven is like what happens next.
After the net is full, Simon and the others draw it to the shore.
Sit down and sort out the fish.
The good fish go into the barrels.
The bad fish thrown away.
So it will be at the end of the age.
Angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous.
And throw them into a fiery furnace.
Do you understand?
Therefore, every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven,
like you all are now,
is like the master of a house who brings forth his treasures.
Both new and old.
You are to do the same with this knowledge.
These parables I tell make sense to some, not to others.
Be patient.
That is all for today.
I have some business to attend to with my new friend.
Put that down for a catch.
A little farther out.
I don't have a core with you, teacher.
But we've been doing this all night.
Nothing.
All right.
That's your word.
Grab it! Grab the net!
Grab it!
My brother and the baptizer.
You are the Lamb of God, yes?
I am.
Depart from me.
I am a sinful man.
You don't know who I am or the things I've done.
Don't be afraid, Simon.
I'm sorry.
We've waited for you for so long.
We believed, but my faith...
How sorry.
Lift up your head, fisherman.
What do you want from me?
Anything you ask, I will do.
Follow me.
I will.
You as well.
Yes, you, James and John.
Come, follow me.
I'll take the fish into market and settle up Simon's debt.
I'll get some help to kill both of these boats.
Are you sure?
Yes, go.
What will you tell Ima?
We've just been called by the man we've prayed for our entire lives.
And you ask me, what will I say when you miss supper?
Go, now!
So, you sure you don't want to do this just a few more times?
We'll make a great team on the boat, Simon.
Joke?
Fish are nothing.
You have much bigger things ahead of you, Simon, son of Jonah.
Did you understand that parable I told earlier?
From now on, fishes of men,
you are to gather as many as possible,
or cut them out later.
