Luke 5:9

"But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”"

Key Reflection

Simon Peter's dramatic response underscores his deep awareness of his sinfulness in the presence of holiness. His admission of unworthiness highlights both his humility and the stark contrast between Jesus' divine authority and Peter's human limitations, setting the stage for a profound lesson on faith and discipleship.
