👑 Luke 5
Luke 5 opens with these words: “Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.” The line to keep is Luke 5:8: “But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”” Carry the word “simon” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Luke 5:8: “But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in Luke 5? Then try this: Read “But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man,…” once more.
