Description
This stained glass section from the cathedral of Chartres, France, is based on the biblical passage in Luke 5 in which Jesus goes out on the boat with Simon Peter and orders him to let down the nets. Although Peter objects because he had spent all night fishing without a catch, the nets are filled after they are let down. The incident ends with Jesus saying that if the fishermen follow him, they will become fishers of men.
