Fishing, the art of @ was prosecuted with great industry in the waters of Palestine. It was from the fishing-nets that Jesus called his disciples Mark:1:16-20), and it was in a fishing-boat he rebuked the winds and the waves Matthew:8:26) and delivered that remarkable series of prophecies recorded in Matthew:13. He twice miraculously fed multitudes with fish and bread Matthew:14:19Matthew:15:36). It was in the mouth of a fish that the tribute-money was found Matthew:17:27). And he "ate a piece of broiled fish" with his disciples after his resurrection Luke:24:42-43; comp. Acts:1:3). At the Sea of Tiberias John:21:1-14), in obedience to his direction, the disciples cast their net "on the right side of the ship," and enclosed so many that "they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes." Two kinds of fishing-nets are mentioned in the New Testament: (1.) The casting-net Matthew:4:18; Mark:1:16). (2.) The drag-net or seine Matthew:13:48). Fish were also caught by the fishing-hook Matthew:17:27). (See NET.)
