Luke 5:9. Amazement seized. etc. This miracle seems more than one of knowledge. It is true the shoals of fish in the lake are very thick, but the promise of Luke 5:10 (‘Henceforth thou shalt catch men') points to an influence of Christ's upon the fish. Trench: ‘Christ here appears as the ideal man, the second Adam of the eighth Psalm: “Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all things under His feet the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas” (Luke 5:6; Luke 5:8).'

Luke 5:10. James and John. See on Matthew 10:2.

From henceforth thou shalt catch men. See on Matthew 4:19. Here the three narratives coincide.
