Luke 5:4-7 King James Version (KJV)
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
Luke 5:4-7
CLV 4 Now as He ceases speaking, He said to Simon, "Back up into the depth, and lower your nets for a catch." 5 And answering, Simon said to Him, "Doctor, the whole night through, toiling, we did not get one. Yet, at Thy declaration, I shall lower the nets." 6 And, this doing, they impound a vast multitude of fishes. Yet their nets tore through, 7 and they beckon to their partners in the other ship to come to their aid. And they came, and they fill both the ships so that they are swamped."
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
4 This was how they caught fish they would drag their net behind the boat catching the fish in the net as they moved. Peter would have none how to catch fish.
5 Peter calls Him Master which shows he already knew who He was and still is, Lord. Peter knew that if he truly saw Him as Master that he should listen to His word, it did make sense to Peter because of the lack of fish they had caught that night, sometimes what He has us do makes no sense to us.
6 Sometimes He has us do things that makes no sense to us to show us His power and that His plan is greater than ours.
7 The showed His power to them and showed them by Him they can do anything He leads them to do, we can also do anything within His will by His power.
