Luke 5:6 - Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)

Luke 5:6

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!”

9 For he and all who were with him were ^aastonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;

10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. ^aFrom now on you will catch men.”

11 So when they had brought their boats to land, ^athey forsook all and followed Him.

Luke 5:6

They inclosed (sunekleisan). Effective aorist active indicative with perfective compound sun.

They shut together. Were breaking (dierhsseto). Imperfect passive singular (diktua being neuter plural). This is the late form of the old verb diarhgnumi. The nets were actually tearing in two (dia-) and so they would lose all the fish.
