Luke 5:1-11

From Now On

Luke chapter 5 opens with an ordinary scene on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd had gathered to listen to the teaching of Jesus as Simon Peter and his team brought their boats ashore after an unproductive night of fishing. Noticing their arrival, Jesus asks to borrow one of the boats so that he might be heard more effectively from the water. In the middle of the day, as he finished teaching, Jesus turned his attention toward Peter and told him to return to the lake to fish again. As an experienced fish merchant, Peter was skeptical of this request, yet he obeyed the word of Jesus. After the weary fisherman cast the nets again, they could not contain the catch. They were astonished, not primarily by the large catch of fish, but by the power, authority, and holiness of Jesus.
