Lucas 5:2

2 Viu à beira do lago dois barcos, deixados ali pelos pescadores, que estavam lavando as suas 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 Certo dia Jesus estava perto do lago de Genesaré, e uma multidão o comprimia de todos os lados para ouvir a palavra de Deus.

2 Viu à beira do lago dois barcos, deixados ali pelos pescadores, que estavam lavando as suas redes.

3 Entrou num dos barcos, o que pertencia a Simão, e pediu-lhe que o afastasse um pouco da praia. Então sentou-se e do barco ensinava o povo.

4 Tendo acabado de falar, disse a Simão: “Vá para onde as águas são mais fundas”, e a todos: “Lancem as redes para a pesca”.

5 Simão respondeu: “Mestre, esforçamo-nos a noite inteira e não pegamos nada. Mas, porque és tu quem está dizendo isto, vou lançar as redes”.
