Lucas 5:7

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.

Lucas 5:7 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:7

And they beckoned unto their partners
Zebedee, and his two sons, James and John; ( Luke 5:10 ) who were at some distance from them, probably lay at anchor near the shore, not having put out to sea when the other vessel did, and so were not within call; but they were obliged to make signs to them, and beckon with their hands to come to them:

mentioned in ( Luke 5:2 ) which lay by the shore:

that they should come and help them;

and they came and filled both the ships;
with the fishes they took out of the net, as full as they could hold, and which they were not well able to carry:

or "were almost immersed", as Beza's ancient copy, and another manuscript, with the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions read; the vessels were so heavy laden, with the vast quantity of fish that was taken, that they were just ready to sink with their burden.

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.

9 Pois, � vista da pesca que haviam feito, o espanto se apoderara dele e de todos os que com ele estavam,
