Lucas 5:6

6 Feito isto, apanharam uma grande quantidade de peixes, de modo que as redes se rompiam.

Lucas 5:6 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:6

And when they had done this
Had put the ship out further to sea, and had let down their net:

they enclosed a great multitude of fish;
in their net, which by the secret divine power of Christ, were gathered together just in that place, where by his order they cast the net:

and their net brake;
with the weight and number, of the fishes, yet not so as to let the fish out; the Arabic version reads, "it was within a little that their nets were broke": they were just upon breaking, the draught was so numerous, the struggling so great, and the weight so heavy.

Lucas 5:6 In-Context

4 Quando acabou de falar, disse a Simão: Faze-te ao largo e lançai as vossas redes para a pesca.

5 Ao que disse Simão: Mestre, trabalhamos a noite toda, e nada apanhamos; mas, sobre tua palavra, lançarei as redes.

6 Feito isto, apanharam uma grande quantidade de peixes, de modo que as redes se rompiam.

7 Acenaram então aos companheiros que estavam no outro barco, para virem ajudá-los. Eles, pois, vieram, e encheram ambos os barcos, de maneira tal que quase iam a pique.

8 Vendo isso Simão Pedro, prostrou-se aos pés de Jesus, dizendo: Retira-te de mim, Senhor, porque sou um homem pecador.
