路加福音 5:4 CUVS

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 5:1-11

New Catchers of Men Luke 5:1-11 Not their first call, recorded in John 1:35-42 , but another which preceded their appointment to the apostolate. The Lord always supersedes us. He superseded Peter in his command of the boat, which he had navigated since he was a lad. There is always a testing-point for the soul. Will you surrender the command and let Christ be captain? If so, in the teeth of great difficulties-for fish are not caught generally in the glare of day-He will fill your boat to the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 5:1-39

Four of Jesus' disciples, already called into the relation of discipleship, are here called more definitely to service. Taking command of their vessel, to which in all probability they had returned without warrant, they found Him able to direct them in an earthly calling, and by so doing lifting them to the position from where henceforth, they would catch men. The coming of the leper revealed an advance beyond the common crowd in his attitude toward Jesus. The leper believed in Jesus' power... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 5:4

LAUNCH OUT!‘Launch out into the deep.’ Luke 5:4 Simon was surprised to receive that command; there are many still who do not seem able at once to respond to it. I. To whom should these words be addressed?( a) Disappointed workers.—As it was with Peter, so it has often been with Christ’s servants since, and we may surely learn some lesson from our Lord’s command on such an occasion. Let us dare a little more, venture a little further for Christ than we have ever done before.( b) Desponding... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 5:1-11

Jesus Reveals His Authority Over Both Fish and Fishermen and Calls the Fishermen To Fish Men (5:1-11) . The first incident in which Jesus’ Messianic authority is revealed is in the calling of fishermen to follow Him in lifetime commitment, with no offer of earthly reward, for the purpose of ‘taking men alive’. This will fulfil the prophecy of Jeremiah 16:16 concerning the last days. ‘Behold I will send for many fishermen, says the Lord, and they will fish them’, but it is also evidence of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 5:4

‘And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.” ’ Then when He had finished preaching He turned to Simon Peter and said, “Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.” The prophetic command probably made Peter give a grim smile, and give his partner a look. No one knew better than they that there were no fish to be had. If they could not be found at night when it was dark, this time of the morning when the sun... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 5:1-11

Luke 5:1-1 Kings : . The Call of the First Disciples ( cf. Mark 1:16-Proverbs : *, Matthew 4:18-Song of Solomon : *).— The eager crowds that attend Jesus show His need of assistants. The simpler story of Mk. and Mt. is here replaced by one which introduces a miraculous catch of fish. The similarity with John 21 leads us to think that Lk. (who has no Galilean appearances of the Risen Jesus) may have used that incident here. Nor is it difficult to discern symbolism in the story; the deep water... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 5:3-11

Here is a plain and orderly story, related with many circumstances, tending to show us the power and influence of God upon men’s successes, in their honest and ordinary callings, and also that God hath a command upon the fish in the sea; together with an account of Christ’s call of Simon Peter to be a preacher of the gospel. The only difficulty is to reconcile this to what Matthew tells us, Matthew 4:18,Matthew 4:19, &c. Matthew’s words are these: And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee,... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 5:1-11

Luke 5:1-11 Fishers of Men. I. This passage reminds us that discipleship comes before apostleship. Peter had been, for at least some months, a docile learner in the school of Christ before he was called here to forsake all, and follow Him as an Apostle. They who would teach others about the Lord must first be acquainted with Him themselves. II. That the knowledge of self, obtained through the discovery of Christ, is one of the main elements of power in seeking to benefit others. It is not a... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 5:1-39

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Luke's gospel chapter 5.The popularity of the ministry of Jesus is growing. Word is being spread around of the miracles that are being wrought by Him, and now wherever He goes people are beginning to jostle and shove in order that they might get close to Him. It made it difficult for Jesus to travel to get around because of the multitudes that, according to Mark's gospel, at this point were thronging Him wherever He went.And so here in Luke's gospel,It came to... read more
