“And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.”
He saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets — the two boats and the net-washing fishermen communicate the post-fishing routine: the night's work is done, the catch is in, the nets are being cleaned. Simon and his partners (James and John, verse 10) are in the process of finishing their work — not waiting for a catch but completing the aftermath of a failed night.
