Luke 5:4
Douay-Rheims
Now when he had ceased to speak, he said to Simon: Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
George Leo Haydock
Epanagage eis to bathos . Put back from whence you have just now returned. Where you failed without Christ, with Christ you will prove successful. Now is the proper time, when you act in my presence, and according to my orders; before it was not, when you followed your own, and not my will. (Maldonatus) — St. Augustine interprets the text, Launch out into the deep, as spoken of distant nations, to whom the gospel was afterwards delivered: tolle signum in gentes, ad eas, quœ propè, et ad eas quœ longè. (Isaias v. 26. and xi. 12.)
