Luke 5:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:9

Far he was astonished, and all that were with him
His brother Andrew, and the servants they had with them to manage the vessel, and cast the nets:

at the draught of the fishes they had taken;
being so large and numerous, as the like was never seen, nor known by them before.

Luke 5:9 In-Context

7 They waved to their partners in the other boat to come help them. They filled both boats, nearly swamping them with the catch.
8 Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell to his knees before Jesus. "Master, leave. I'm a sinner and can't handle this holiness. Leave me to myself."
9 When they pulled in that catch of fish, awe overwhelmed Simon and everyone with him.
10 It was the same with James and John, Zebedee's sons, coworkers with Simon.
11 They pulled their boats up on the beach, left them, nets and all, and followed him.
