Lukas 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.

Lukas 5:6 In-Context

4 And when he stopped speaking, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to Shimon, Put out into the deep (water) and let down your nets for a catch.

5 And in reply, Shimon said, Adoni, throughout the whole lailah we have labored and caught nothing. But on account of your dvar I will let down the nets.

6 And having done this, they enclosed asach (a lot of) dagim, and their nets were being torn.

7 And they signaled for their shuttafim (partners) in the other sirah to come and help them. And they came and they filled both sirot (boats) so much that they began to sink.

8 And having seen this, Shimon Kefa fell down before Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Depart from me, Adoni, for an ish choteh (sinful man) am I. [BERESHIS 18:27; IYOV 42:6; YESHAYAH 6:5]
