Luca 5:2

2 vide due barche ferme a riva, dalle quali erano smontati i pescatori e lavavano le reti.

Luca 5:2 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:2

And saw two ships standing by the lake
Or two fishing boats; which were, as the Arabic version renders it, "detained by anchors at the shore of the lake"; the one belonging to Peter and Andrew, and the other to Zebedee, and his two sons, James and John:

but the fishermen were gone out of them;
that is, either the above persons, or their servants:

and were washing their nets;
on shore; they having gathered a great deal of soil and filthiness, but had caught no fish; and therefore were cleansing their nets, in order to lay them up, finding it to be in vain to make any further attempts with them at present; and which considered, makes the following miracle the more illustrious.

Luca 5:2 In-Context

1 Or avvenne che essendogli la moltitudine addosso per udir la parola di Dio, e stando egli in piè sulla riva del lago di Gennesaret,
2 vide due barche ferme a riva, dalle quali erano smontati i pescatori e lavavano le reti.
3 E montato in una di quelle barche che era di Simone, lo pregò di scostarsi un po’ da terra; poi, sedutosi, d’in sulla barca ammaestrava le turbe.
4 E com’ebbe cessato di parlare, disse a Simone: Prendi il largo, e calate le reti per pescare.
5 E Simone, rispondendo, disse: Maestro, tutta la notte ci siamo affaticati, e non abbiam preso nulla; però, alla tua parola, calerò le reti.
