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 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away from me, because I'm a sinful man, Lord!"

9 For he and all those with him were amazed at the catch of fish they took,

10 and so were James and John, Zebedee's sons, who were Simon's partners. "Don't be afraid," Jesus told Simon. "From now on you will be catching people!"

11 Then they brought the boats to land, left everything, and followed Him.
