Lucas 5:2

2 Y vio dos barcos que estaban cerca de la orilla del lago; y los pescadores, habiendo descendido de ellos, lavaban sus redes

Lucas 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.

Lucas 5:2 In-Context

1 Y aconteció, que estando él junto al lago de Genesaret, la multitud se agolpaba sobre él para oír la palabra de Dios

2 Y vio dos barcos que estaban cerca de la orilla del lago; y los pescadores, habiendo descendido de ellos, lavaban sus redes

3 Y entrado en uno de estos barcos, el cual era de Simón, le rogó que lo desviara de tierra un poco; y sentándose, enseñaba desde el barco a la multitud

4 Cuando cesó de hablar, dijo a Simón: Tira a alta mar, y echad vuestras redes para pescar

5 Y respondiendo Simón, le dijo: Maestro, habiendo trabajado toda la noche, nada hemos tomado; mas en tu palabra echaré la red
