“Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.”
Simon Peter said to them, 'I am going fishing.' They said to him, 'We will go with you.' They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing — Peter's return to fishing suggests the disciples have reverted to their pre-calling occupations, indicating post-resurrection confusion about vocation. The night setting (similar to 20:19) suggests spiritual darkness or uncertainty. The catch of nothing mirrors human futility without Christ; the narrative sets up the miracle catch as restoration.
