1 Now/But [de]
it happened in the pressing upon him, the crowd [oclon]
[accusative - pressing is deponent] and hearing the
word of God [Not the literal word, but the SYMBOLIC MEANING OF THE WORD - FINALLY! THIS IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE ACCOUNT AND YOU CANNOT GET IT WITHOUT NOUN COUNTING],
and he had been standing beside the lake of
Gennesaret [literally the lake of the harp - the 10 stringed Harp of God of Psalm 33:" and Psalm 144:9 - 10 fulfilments literal, event symbolic, Word1-4 and a 2nd fulfilment of Word1-4 (if there is a double description). This is the lake of Galilee. Gennesaret is a Hebrew word transliterated into Greek so it does not make a Greek noun chain with lake].
2
And he saw boats [church administrations] 2, docked beside the lake, but the fishermen [literally - salty one - i.e. seaman, i.e. fisherman. Word1&2: Salt of the earth,
genuine Christians, salty ones] had alighted from
them and were washing off their nets [cleansing their neural nets for new understandings, they leave their administrative position, but not the church itself, to rethink].
3
Going aboard one [eij] [a pronoun] of the boats [quantitative genitive] [Must count 6x because a boat is held up by the sea, which cannot be literal in the word symbolism, it must be the masses of lawless, structureless mankind. A boat is a false church], which was [a boat] of Simon, he asked him to pull away a bit from land [Not far from the reappointment of Laodicea as a true church]. But [de]
having sat down [to judge the 1NC reserves for the Passover], he was teaching the crowds
out of [ek] the boat [from a distance, a journey of faith from the boat, the false church, to the land, the true church across the bible].
4
When he ceased speaking [], he said to Simon [meaning hearing in Hebrew]: Pull out to the deep-part, and lower your nets for a catch [deep understandings of FDS4].
5
But Simon answered: Instructor [Paul/Gordon], through [a] whole night
[this must be a whole night with whole as an adjective and not the whole of the night with whole as a noun, since 'the' is absent] [of the gap in the presence]
having toiled,
we took nothing, but at your bidding I will lower the nets.
6
Well, when they did this, they enclosed a great multitude
[plhqoj] of fishes.
Actually,
their nets began ripping apart.
7
So they signaled to the [ones] sharing [metocoj is an adjective, c.f. koinwnoj,
a noun] in the other boat [the Watchtower],
of the [ones] having come to assist them. And they came, and they filled both the boats [accusative], so that they began to sink.
8
Seeing this, Simon,
Peter fell down at the knees of Jesus [Word1&2: To be rebaptized], saying: Depart from me, because I am a sinful male [anhr],
Lord.
9
For astonishment overwhelmed him and all the [ones] with him at the catch of fishes which they took-together.
10
But similarly [it overwhelmed] both/and/also James [Iakwbon] and John,
[the] sons of Zebedee [The saints and the unsanctified JWs,
sons of Russell], who were partners
[koinwnoj a noun which when used as an adjective takes the same meaning as koinoj
- Liddell and Scott and Mounce and Strong's agree. Whereas Groves Wheeler incorrectly has this as an adjective] with [dative]
Simon.
But Jesus said to Simon: Stop being afraid. From now on you will be catching men [anqropoj]
alive [with a non adamic baptism].
11
So having led down/beached the boats
upon the land [of Zoar], having abandoned everything [in the previous churches of TCC1 and TCC3],
they followed him.
CNC (2,4,4,4,4,2,2,5,2,8,2) = 39 (3 threads)
INC Crowd, Lake ( of Gennesaret), Boats, Fishermen, Nets, Land, Simon, Deep-part, Catch,
Instructor, Night, Multitude of fishes, Peter, Knees of Jesus, Male [anhr], Lord, Astonishment,
Catch of fishes, James, John, Sons of Zebedee,
Partners, Jesus, Men [anqropoj] = 24
plhqoj Multitude, or 'a large number of' is invariant symbolically. So one might think that 'multitude of fishes' gives us 'fishes', and since we have 'catch', we have 'catch of fishes'. But one would be wrong. It matters not that multitude is invariant. Perhaps it is not as invariant as we imagine.
Crowd (2), Word of God, Lake (2) ( of Gennesaret), Boats (6), Fishermen (1), Nets (4), Land (2), Simon (5), Deep-part, Catch (2), Instructor, Night, Multitude of fishes, Peter (1), Knees of Jesus, Man [anhr] (1), Lord, Astonishment, Catch of fishes, James (1), John (1), Sons of Zebedee, Partners, Jesus (1), Men [anqropoj] (1)
The bible is the lake, the surface water is the literal meaning, then the event symbolic layer, then the word symbolic layer. The deeper waters have the larger fish.
Multiple Designations: Instructor and Jesus and Lord. Simon and Peter and Man.
The Greek word for fisherman [alieuj] literally means a salty-one. The word only appears once in the account and so can only take its actual Greek meaning. But since it has two Greek meanings, the literal one and the implied one and since it takes the implied one (fishermen) in the literal thread, we give it the literal meaning in the word threads. Salty-men, genuine Christians, the salt of the earth.
Due to the substitution of Peter for Simon in Word2 (after the double designation Simon, Peter), this chap called Simon, the President of Laodicea (the boat which Jesus gets into) does not catch men alive in Word2 (whereas a Peter - AOL - does). Simon may not immediately repent. But a Peter, does repent from the Watchtower and join TCC4. In other words Laodicea is split into arrogant Simons and humble Peters.
The second boat is not said to have left the land, the boats are not said to be led to the land, but led upon the land. However not everyone gets out of the Watchtower boat!
Simon in verse 10 is in the dative. This noun is substituted in Word2 to be Peter in the dative (by the double designation before it). Peter is in the nominative in verse 8 which has the double designation.

These decoded understandings, these fishes that nearly break our brains, are the unleavened bread of the Cakes that is eaten in haste at and before the end. The acceptable year of Isaiah 61 is the time of the greatest bible research ever!!!
