Luc 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.

Luc 5:6 In-Context

4 Et quand il eut cessé de parler, il dit à Simon: Avance en pleine eau, et jetez vos filets pour pêcher.

5 Simon lui répondit: Maître, nous avons travaillé toute la nuit sans rien prendre; toutefois, sur ta parole, je jetterai le filet.

6 Et l'ayant fait, ils prirent une grande quantité de poissons;

7 Et comme leur filet se rompait, ils firent signe à leurs compagnons, qui étaient dans l'autre barque, de venir les aider; ils y vinrent, et ils remplirent les deux barques, tellement qu'elles s'enfonçaient.

8 Simon Pierre, ayant vu cela, se jeta aux pieds de Jésus et lui dit: Seigneur, retire-toi de moi; car je suis un homme pécheur.
