Luke 5:5
Douay-Rheims
And Simon answering said to him: Master, we have laboured all the night, and have taken nothing: but at thy word I will let down the net.
Theophylact of Ohrid
Peter did not refuse to comply, as it follows, And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all night and have taken nothing. He did not go on to say, "I will not hearken to thee, nor expose myself to additional labour," but rather adds, Nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net.
