Episode 105 - Fishers of Men - Luke 5

In the New Testament there is a miracle that is repeated twice, once in Luke 5 and once in John 21. It is the miracle where the disciples have been fishing all night and caught nothing. Jesus comes by and tells them to cast their net to the other side of the boat and they pull in a tremendous amount of fish. Some scholars and Bible Commentaries say this is the same miracle. But is it?

In Luke 5 the nets break, but in John 21 they don't. Is Luke or John lying about the story in essence making it a "fish story"? What is the meaning of the net breaking or not breaking? Is there a significance to it?

This week on Connecting the Gap we dive into Luke 5 and dissect the miracle as it happened, and we answer these questions. Next week we will work our way through John 21. In both cases we solidify the fact that most everything Jesus ever did while here on the Earth was a teaching and learning experience for those around Him.
