Marvel
at how wisely the Lord arranges our salvation, drawing to Himself each one by
means of the things that are his own and with which he is familiar. As He had
attracted the Magi with a star, so now He
draws the fishermen by means of fish. Behold the gentleness of Christ,
how He does not command, but requests, that Peter put out from land. Behold
also the obedience of Peter, how he welcomes into his boat a man whom he did
not know, and obeys Him in everything. When the Lord tells him to launch out
into the deep, Peter responds, At Thy word I will let down the net. Such was
the warmth of his trust even before he had faith. And he caught so great a
number of fish that he was not able to haul them in, and he beckoned to his
companions in the other boat. He calls them with a signal, because his
astonishment at the catch was so great that he could not even speak. You may
also understand these things in a spiritual sense. The boat is the synagogue
of the Jews. Peter represents the teachers of the law. For the teachers of
the law also toiled the whole night before Christ came (the time before
Christ's sojourning on earth was indeed night) and took in nothing. But when
Christ came, and it became day, the teachers of the law
|
were
replaced by the Apostles who, at His command, let down the net of the Gospel
in which they caught so great a number of men that the Apostles could not
haul in the catch by themselves. And so they beckon to their partners and
companions and together pull in the net. These are the pastors and teachers
of the Church in every generation who teach and interpret the words of the
Apostles, laboring with the Apostles to catch mankind. Consider also the
words, Let down the net. The net is the Gospel: like the fisherman's net, which
is a lowly and commonplace thing, the Gospel is composed of humble, everyday
words which reach down and condescend to the simplicity of the people. This
is why it is said that the net is let down. If anyone should say that letting
down the net also indicates the depth of meaning of the Gospel, neither would
he be off the mark. Therefore the words of the prophet have also been
fulfilled, Behold, I will send many fishermen, saith the Lord, and they shall
fish for them; and afterward I will send many hunters, and they shall hunt
for them [Jer
16:16].
The fishermen are the holy Apostles, and the hunters are the leaders and
teachers of the Church in each generation.
Blessed Theophylact,
Abp of Ochrid & Bulgaria (c.
1100)
