It\u2019s no pony, for it\u2019s a heavy load the beast lugs.   (Draft beer is \u2018pulled up\u2019 and out of a keg.) \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a <strong>draught<\/strong>\u201d (Luke 5:4).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\tThis promise from Jesus of a massive haul is purposely the complete opposite of the natural world situation:  \u201c\u2026we have toiled all night, and have taken <strong>nothing.<\/strong>\u201d  God is about to shew Peter he is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think; and all Peter must do is obey a simple command: to lower his nets.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\tIt\u2019s a great and encouraging lesson for us\u2026unless we look into the NIV!   The NIV has replaced <strong>draught <\/strong>with <strong>catch<\/strong>.   And with the change, the depth of understanding is lost:  \u201c\u2026let down your nets for a catch\u201d (NIV).   That\u2019s it\u2026<strong>catch<\/strong>.   Not a massive haul, not a big and heavy load\u2026a catch.  A few little fish in a bucket would constitute a catch.  A few suckers and pan fish on a line is a catch.  No need to launch out in the deeper water, you can get a catch near the shore!  Hey, if you are fast, you may even \u2018catch\u2019 a fish by hand!  This word, catch, is not quite the direct opposite of nothing, as draught is.  The sense of the miracle adjectives exceedingly and abundantly are washed out: this is only an undefined catch (shrug, yawn).  <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\tThere was such a haul of fish, the nets broke.  The helping ships were so overloaded, they began to sink\u2014that\u2019s a draught, a miracle!  The object lesson: from nothing in our own strength and intellect, to a massive load, after acting on God\u2019s word.  Peter was so impressed, so astonished, he humbled himself before all and acknowledged the truth about himself and Jesus.  No mere catch caused this reaction, this was a draught!   <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\tI\u2019m somewhat miffed that the modern bibles dilute the impact of the KJV vocabulary!  The NIV reader, and the lazy KJV reader who doesn\u2019t look up draught, are led to miss the fullness, the totality, of what has happened here in Galilee; and consequently, miss the full relevance for us today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purecambridgetext.com\/blog\/categories\/paul-scott\">Paul Scott<\/a><\/li><li>\u2022<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purecambridgetext.com\/blog\/categories\/word-studies\">Word Studies<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Draught or Catch (purecambridgetext.com) Paul Scott (purecambridgetext.com) Paul Scott 3 hours ago 2 min read Draught or Catch Draught, which has its roots in German but is actually considered Early Middle English, is pronounced Draft.
