luke 5:8 But when Simon Peter saw [that], he fell down at Jesus' feet, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!"

8. Depart, &c.--Did Peter then wish Christ to leave him? Verily no. His all was wrapt up in Him (Joh 6:68). "It was rather, Woe is me, Lord! How shall I abide this blaze of glory? A sinner such as I am is not fit company for Thee." (Compare Isa 6:5.)

luke 5:8 But when Simon Peter saw [that], he fell down at Jesus' feet, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!"
