Luke 5:6

6 It was no sooner said than done - a huge haul of fish, straining the nets past capacity.

Luke 5:6 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:6

And when they had done this
Had put the ship out further to sea, and had let down their net:

they enclosed a great multitude of fish;
in their net, which by the secret divine power of Christ, were gathered together just in that place, where by his order they cast the net:

and their net brake;
with the weight and number, of the fishes, yet not so as to let the fish out; the Arabic version reads, "it was within a little that their nets were broke": they were just upon breaking, the draught was so numerous, the struggling so great, and the weight so heavy.

Luke 5:6 In-Context

4 When he finished teaching, he said to Simon, "Push out into deep water and let your nets out for a catch."

5 Simon said, "Master, we've been fishing hard all night and haven't caught even a minnow. But if you say so, I'll let out the nets."

6 It was no sooner said than done - a huge haul of fish, straining the nets past capacity.

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."
