Context — The Miraculous Catch of Fishgenerated
Luke 5:6 describes a significant moment when Simon Peter and his partners, after a night of catching nothing, followed Jesus' command and caught an overwhelming number of fish. This event illustrates not only the power of Jesus' word but also the importance of obedience in the life of a disciple. The miraculous catch serves as a turning point for Peter, leading him to recognize Jesus' divine authority, as seen in the following verses where Peter acknowledges his sinfulness in the presence of Jesus, found in Luke 5:8.

The Key Word — συνέκλεισαν, sugkleiōgenerated
The verb συγκλείω (i.e., *sugkleiō*) means 'to enclose' or 'to shut together.' It is an aorist active indicative verb, indicating a completed action performed by the subject. In this context, it refers to the act of enclosing a large number of fish in the nets.
This word emphasizes the action of gathering or capturing, highlighting the success of the fishermen after they obeyed Jesus' instruction. The use of this verb in the narrative underscores the miraculous nature of the event, as it was not merely a natural outcome but a direct result of following Jesus' command.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) states, 'When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.' This is echoed in the KJV and ASV, which use 'inclosed' to describe the action of capturing the fish.
However, the BBE and WEB opt for 'caught' instead of 'inclosed,' while maintaining the essence of the miraculous catch. The translations generally agree on the large quantity of fish but differ in the specific wording used to describe the act of enclosing them.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is συνέκλεισαν, they enclosed, which governs the entire clause. The structure includes a participial phrase (ποιήσαντες, having done), which indicates the action taken prior to the main verb.
The sentence also contains a noun phrase that serves as the object (πλῆθος ἰχθύων, a multitude of fish), and a subordinate clause that describes the outcome of their action (διερρήσσετο, were breaking), illustrating the result of their successful catch.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
συνέκλεισαν does not have a direct counterpart in the Septuagint, but its root is related to the Hebrew word for 'shut' or 'close,' seen in contexts where something is enclosed or confined.
The concept of enclosing or capturing is also present in the Septuagint, where similar actions are described, emphasizing the idea of gathering or collecting.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Luke 5:6 tells us that after obeying Jesus' command, Peter and his partners caught so many fish that their nets began to break. This miraculous event shows the power of Jesus and the importance of following His instructions.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
This indicates that the catch was so large that the nets could not hold all the fish, symbolizing abundance and the miraculous nature of Jesus' command.
Their success came after they obeyed Jesus' instruction, demonstrating the effectiveness of following His guidance even when previous efforts had failed.
Peter's reaction shows humility and recognition of Jesus' divine authority, prompting him to acknowledge his own unworthiness, which is a key aspect of discipleship.
This miraculous catch parallels other instances in the Bible, such as in John 21:6, where Jesus also performs a miracle involving fish, reinforcing His power and the call to His disciples.

- How can I recognize and respond to the abundance that comes from following God's guidance?
- What does this miracle teach me about God's provision in my life?
- How can I share the story of God's faithfulness in my own experiences of abundance?

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts.

ποιέω is a Greek verb meaning 'to make' or 'to do,' with a wide range of applications including creating, producing, or performing actions. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts relating to God's creative acts or human actions, such as making sacrifices or preparing feasts. Notably, it can also imply causing something to happen or fulfilling a purpose. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

συγκλείω is built from the prefix συν- (together) and κλείω (to shut). It means to shut together or enclose, and is used literally, as in Luke 5:6, and metaphorically, as in Romans 11:32 and Galatians 3:22-23. The lexicons vary slightly on nuances of meaning, particularly regarding its metaphorical applications.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

δίκτυον is a neuter noun meaning 'net,' particularly a fishing net. It is derived from a verb meaning 'to cast.' The term appears in several New Testament passages, including Matthew 4:20 and John 21:6. Lexicons note that it can refer to various types of nets, including hunting nets, and is often used metaphorically. There is some discussion about its specific types compared to related words like ἀμφίβληστρον and σαγήνη, which denote specific fishing nets.
Ovr English word ‘net’ will, in a general way, cover all these three, which yet are capable of a more accurate discrimination one from the other. Aixrvov (=‘rete,’ “ retia’), from the old δικεῖν, to cast, which appears again in δίσκος, a quoit, is the more general name for all nets, and would include the hunting net, and the net with which birds are taken (Prov. i. 17), as well as the fishing, although used only of the latter in the Ν, T. (Matt. iv. 20; John xxi. 6). It is often in the Septuagint employed in that figurative sense in which St. Paul uses παγίς (Rom. xi. 9; 1 Tim. iii. 7), and is indeed associated with it (Job xviii. 8; Prov. xxix. 5). ᾿Αμφίβληστρον and σαγήνη are varieties of fishing nets ; they are named together, Hab. i. 15; and in Plutarch (De Soler. Anim. 26), who joins γρῖπος with σαγήνη, ὑποχή with ἀμφίβληστρον. ᾿Αμφίβληστρον--- οὐ only in the N. T. at Matt. iv. 18…

Counted over the 14 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.
