“When
they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to
break.” Luke 5:6
Having
no portable PA system, Jesus borrowed, unannounced, one of two fishing boats
onshore. The fishermen were finished for the day, washing their nets from the
debris of the day and laying them out for the next. The crowd was growing
larger and it was difficult to be heard. So, boarding the small craft, Jesus
put out for shore just a bit. Both the water and the rising terrain in front of
Him, made for a perfect outdoor arena, acoustics akin to the Hollywood Bowl.
