Luke 5:7-10
7And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
10And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
As Paul Harvey would say, "And now the rest of the story". In Matthew it looked like Jesus came and immediately Peter followed him. But as read here there was more to the story. Peter witnessed another miracle. I'm sure that his brother told him what he saw when he was with John, but it took more to finally convince Peter and crew to follow Jesus.
Yes, it took Jesus to ask them. We need to remember to listen to the call of God instead of making our own decisions.
