The Miracle of Catching Fish (Luke 5: 1-7)

The miracle of catching fish happened at the:

• The Red Sea

• The Dead Sea

• The Lake of Gennesaret (The Sea of Galilee)

• None of the above

This miracle happened to four of the disciples. They were the first four chosen by Christ. They were fishing partners from two families. Who were they?

• Peter, James, John and Philip

• Peter, James, John and Andrew

• Peter, James, John and Philip

• Peter, James, Philip and Andrew

Jesus used Peter’s boat to tell the fishermen who were washing their nets after they had worked all night and caught nothing, to launch out into the deep and let down their nets for a catch. What did Peter and his friends feel at that time?

• Joy, satisfaction and happiness

• Fatigue, sadness and failure

The goal of the miracle of catching fish was:

• A show of the power of Jesus and his command on the fish at sea

• To impress the multitude

• To feed the multitude (the people) of the fish

• Calling Peter, Andrew, Jacob and John to become His disciples

Peter told Jesus “nevertheless at your word I will let down the net”. This refers to:

• Submitting to the sovereignty of Jesus

• Obedience

• All the above

Instead of catching fish, Peter became a catcher of a different kind while working for God. As a result, on the Day of the Pentecost, (Acts 2: 41), he caught:

• 3000 fish

• 3000 men and women

Who said this sentence to Jesus “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord?” (Luke 5:8)

• Peter

• James

• John

• Andrew

Why did Peter say that to Jesus? Because of…

• The feeling that he is a sinful man

• His firm belief that Jesus is God

• His sincere belief that he does not deserve to be in the presence of Jesus

• All the above

Jesus met Peter’s confession with:

• He told him not to fear

• Invited him to be one of His disciples

• Encouraged him

• All the above

Read Luke 5:11. Peter’s faith was not real because he and his companions went back to fishing after their return to the shore:

• True

• False
