Fishermen were typically part of the working class, and their work was labor-intensive, involving the use of nets and boats. The Sea of Galilee was a central hub for fishing activities, and many of Jesus' early disciples, including Peter, Andrew, James, and John, were fishermen by trade. This occupation was not only a means of livelihood but also held symbolic significance in the teachings of Jesus, who called His disciples to become "fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from hals (the sea)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a fisherman<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fishermen (3), fishers (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 231: ἁλεευς</span><br><br> <p>[<span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἁλεευς</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> uniformly for <span class="greek2">ἁλιεύς</span>, see <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span>'s note on <a href="/interlinear/mark/1-16.htm">Mark 1:16</a> and N.
