Luke 5:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 5:4

2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.

3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He ^asat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, ^a“Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught ^anothing; nevertheless ^bat Your word I will let down the net.”

6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.

7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, ^a“Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
