Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–11: Simon and some other fishermen became disciples of Jesus

In this section, Simon Peter and some of his fishing companions heard Jesus teach. They saw his power revealed through a miraculous catch of fish. As a result, they left their fishing work and began following Jesus as his disciples.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Jesus called Simon and other fishermen to become his disciples

Jesus’ first disciples

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 4:18–22 and Mark 1:16–20.

5:9

For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

He said this because he and all the men with him were amazed at the large number of fish they had caught.
Peter and everyone with him were completely surprised at all the fish they had caught. (CEV)

For: The Greek conjunction that the BSB and most English versions translate as For introduces the reason why Simon said what he did in 5:8. The miracle of the large catch of fish showed Simon that he was with a holy, powerful man from God.

his companions: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as his companions is literally “all the ones with him.” This refers to his fellow fishermen who were in his boat with him.

Some other ways to translate this are:

everyone who was with him (GW)

the other fishermen (NCV)

astonished: The Greek word that the BSB translates as astonished usually describes amazement and awe. It is used to describe someone who sees or experiences something very unusual. This unusual thing is often caused by divine power. The fishermen were very surprised, amazed, and even afraid. There was no way to explain the number of fish they had caught apart from a miracle.

Some other ways to translate this are:

amazed (GW)

completely surprised (CEV)

at the catch of fish they had taken: The fishermen were astonished that they had caught fish during the day. They were especially astonished that they had caught so many fish. You may want to make this explicit in your translation. For example:

at the large number of fish they had caught (GNT)

at the catch of so many fish

at: The Greek word that the BSB translates as at here means “because of” or “on the basis/account of.” It introduces the reason why Simon Peter and his companions were astonished.

the catch of fish they had taken: Here the word catch is a noun. This word means something that is caught or taken. So it may be redundant in some languages to translate explicitly the clause they had taken. If that is the true of your language, you could consider translating this simply as:

at their enormous catch of fish

that they had caught so many fish
