In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of the disciples' occupation as fishermen and in the miraculous accounts of Jesus' ministry.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the first-century Mediterranean world, fishing was a significant occupation, especially around the Sea of Galilee. Nets were essential tools for fishermen, who would cast them into the water to catch fish. The use of nets required skill and teamwork, as they needed to be cast, drawn in, and maintained regularly. Fishing was not only a livelihood but also a metaphor for spiritual truths, as seen in Jesus' call to His disciples to become "fishers of men."<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1350</b> <i>díktyon</i> – the <i>generic</i> term for any type of fishing net (as in Mt 4:20,21; Mk 1:18,19; Lk 5:2,4-6; Jn 21:6,8,11). </p><p class="discovery">[<a href="/greek/1350.htm">1350</a> (<i>díktyon</i>) was also used for hunting nets, especially to catch birds.]</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from dikein (to cast)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a net<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>net (4), nets (8), nets nets (1).<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 1350: δίκτυον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">δίκτυον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">δικτύου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (perhaps from <span class="greek2">ΔΙΚΑΙΝ</span> to cast, cf. <span class="abbreviation">Etym.
