of speaking, he said to Simon:
Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.

Responding, he said to Simon:
Master, we have been working all night and have caught nothing; but in
I will cast the net at your word.

who were with him,10and also of James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were

I continue with you telling my story: Did you know that I recognized that
Jesus was the Messiah, the son of the Living God.
Let's look in our Bibles at Mark 8:27-29.
27
Jesus and his disciples went out to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. In the
Camino asked them:
Who does people say I am?
28
Some say that John the Baptist, others that Elijah, and others that one of the
prophets— they answered.
29
And you, who do you say that I am?
You are the *Christ—I said.
Well, I continue with my story. I was in charge of preparing the Last Supper.. You know the
The Last Supper, well that's where Jesus announced that someone was going to betray him and
deny it.. And well, I denied it, one must believe in the prophets and in Jesus.
mainly.
If we look for our bibles, I can remember this moment:
Jesus announces Peter's denial
(Mt. 26.31-35; Mr. 14.27-31; Jn. 13.36-38)
31
The Lord also said: Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has asked for you to
sift you like wheat;
32
but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and when you have returned, strengthen your brothers
brothers.
33
He said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with you not only to prison, but also to
death.
34
And he said to him: Peter, I tell you that the rooster will not crow today until you deny three times.
times that you know me.
Well, I will keep this Rooster as a souvenir.
And there are many things I could say about myself and there is a word written there in your
Bibles and for me it has been important to read.
Look for Matthew 16:18
Matthew 16:18
Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)

And I also tell you, that you are Peter,[a] and on this rock[b] I will build my
church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
Well, there are other stories of mine, but I've already told you the main ones if you want to know.
More of my scrutinize the scriptures and seek what happened to Ananias and Sapphira.
I brought that to light, it's in Acts 5:1-11, imagine they wanted to keep it.
something that belonged to my Lord but read to see what happens when one is not
obedient to the command of a prophet. And I also saw the sorcerer, a sorcerer told me
I wanted to challenge and I also succeeded because when we believe in a God who is alive nothing
he can stand up to us ahh you can also read it in Acts 8:18-23
And lastly, I almost forgot to say that you all knew that I walked on water, let's read...
Matthew 14:22-33
Jesus walks on water
22
After this, Jesus made his disciples get into the boat, so that
they would cross the lake before him and reach the other side while he said goodbye to the people.
23
When he had sent them away, Jesus went up on a mountain to pray alone. When evening came...
It was night, he was there 24
alone, while the boat was already quite far from shore.
The waves battered the boat, as they had the wind against them. In25the early morning,
Jesus went to them walking on the water. When26the disciples saw him
walking on water, they were frightened, and shouted filled with fear:
It's a ghost!
27
But Jesus spoke to them, saying:
Calm down! It's me: don't be afraid!
28
Then Peter replied to him:
Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.
29
"Come" said Jesus.
Peter then got out of the boat and began to walk on the water towards
Jesus. 30
But upon noticing the strength of the wind, he became afraid; and as he began to
sink, he shouted:
Save me, Lord!
31
At that moment, Jesus took him by the hand and said to him:
How little faith you have! Why did you doubt?
32 33
As soon as they got into the boat, the wind calmed down. Then those who were in
the boat knelt before Jesus, and said to him:
Truly you are the Son of God!
And yes, I got scared and doubted, but I understood it. Well, I leave you and hope you learn.
