Depart from me, for I am a sinner (Lk 5:8-9)
The Latin:
Quod cum uidísset Simon Petrus, prócidit ad génua Iésu, dicens : Exi a me, quia homo peccátor sum, Dómine. Stupor enim circumdéderat eum, et omnes qui cum illo erant, in captúra píscium, quam céperant.
The English:
Which when Simon Peter saw, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying: Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord. For he was wholly astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken.
[What is our Lord's reply? The reply of the angels. "Do not fear". Something I wonder about is the translation of 'stupor' as 'astonished'. It should be more like 'fear'. The translation, as always, is from the Douay-Rheims.]
