Lucas 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:4

Now when he had left speaking
Teaching the people, and preaching the word of God unto them out of the ship, as they stood on the shore before him.

He said unto Simon, launch out into the deep;
he spoke to Simon Peter, being the master of the vessel, to thrust it out, or put it off further into deep water, more convenient for fishing;

and let down your nets for a draught;
of fishes: his meaning is, that he would give orders to his servants, to put out the vessel to sea, to take their nets and cast them into the sea, in order to take and draw up a quantity of fish, which was their business.

2 Y vi贸 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 Sim贸n, le rog贸 que lo desviase de tierra un poco; y sent谩ndose, ense帽aba desde el barco 谩 las gentes.
4 Y como ces贸 de hablar, dijo 谩 Sim贸n: Tira 谩 alta mar, y echad vuestras redes para pescar.
5 Y respondiendo Sim贸n, le dijo: Maestro, habiendo trabajado toda la noche, nada hemos tomado; mas en tu palabra echar茅 la red.
6 Y habi茅ndolo hecho, encerraron gran multitud de pescado, que su red se romp铆a.
