4 Now G1161 when G5613 he had left G3973 speaking, G2980 he said G2036 unto G4314 Simon, G4613 Launch out G1877 into G1519 the deep, G899 and G2532 let down G5465 your G5216 nets G1350 for G1519 a draught. G61
And G1161 he said G2036 unto them, G846 Cast G906 the net G1350 on G1519 the right G1188 side G3313 of the ship, G4143 and G2532 ye shall find. G2147 They cast G906 therefore, G3767 and G2532 now G3765 they were G2480 not G3765 able G2480 to draw G1670 it G846 for G575 the multitude G4128 of fishes. G2486

Commentary on Luke 5 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 5
In this chapter, we have,
Luk 5:1-11
This passage of story fell, in order of time, before the two miracles we had in the close of the foregoing chapter, and is the same with that which was more briefly related by Matthew and Mark, of Christ's calling Peter and Andrew to be fishers of men, Mt. 4:18, and Mk. 1:16. They had not related this miraculous draught of fishes at that time, having only in view the calling of his disciples; but Luke gives us that story as one of the many signs which Jesus did in the presence of his disciples, which had not been written in the foregoing books, Jn. 20:30, 31. Observe here,
Now by this vast draught of fishes,
Luk 5:12-16
Here is,
Luk 5:17-26
Here is,
Luk 5:27-39
All this, except the last verse, we had before in Matthew and Mark; it is not the story of any miracle in nature wrought by our Lord Jesus, but it is an account of some of the wonders of his grace, which, to those who understand things aright, are no less cogent proofs of Christ's being sent of God than the other.
