2 Let us go, H3212 we pray thee, unto Jordan, H3383 and take H3947 thence every man H376 a H259 beam, H6982 and let us make H6213 us a place H4725 there, where we may dwell. H3427 And he answered, H559 Go H3212 ye.
Simon G4613 Peter G4074 saith G3004 unto them, G846 I go G5217 a fishing. G232 They say G3004 unto him, G846 We G2249 also G2532 go G2064 with G4862 thee. G4671 They went forth, G1831 and G2532 entered G305 into G1519 a ship G4143 immediately; G2117 and G2532 that G1722 G1565 night G3571 they caught G4084 nothing. G3762
And G2532 because G1223 he was G1511 of the same craft, G3673 he abode G3306 with G3844 them, G846 and G2532 wrought: G2038 for G1063 by their occupation G5078 they were G2258 tentmakers. G4635
Yea, G1161 ye yourselves G846 know, G1097 that G3754 these G3778 hands G5495 have ministered G5256 unto my G3450 necessities, G5532 and G2532 to them that were G5607 with G3326 me.

G2983

G2316

2Ki 6:1-7
