WK Translation Notes

+
a
There are three different Greek words in the N. T. translated "net," (Amphiblēstron) which only occurs here (implied also in {vi 24232}{/vi}), and means a casting net. It was thrown round the object, whence the term was derived. The more usual word is (diktya), as in verses 20, 21. It is derived from the word to cast. Trawl net has been suggested as appropriate. But the word (sagēnē) found in {vi 23587}{/vi} is derived from the word "to pack" or "load." It was a dragnet or seine, on a larger scale.
