Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go (rather 'come') with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing - just as at the first miraculous draught; and no doubt it was so ordered that the miracle might strike them the more. The same principle is seen in operation throughout much of Christ's ministry, and is indeed a great law of God's spiritual procedure with His people. (See the notes at Luke 5:1-11, Remark 1 at the close of that section; and at John 11:1-57, Remark 4 at the close of that section.)
