It is a literal term referring to the practice of catching fish, a common occupation in the ancient world, particularly in regions surrounding the Sea of Galilee. The term is also used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe the calling of Jesus' disciples to become "fishers of men," indicating the mission of spreading the Gospel and bringing people into the Kingdom of God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Fishing was a significant industry in the ancient Near East, especially in Galilee, where the Sea of Galilee provided abundant fish. Fishermen were typically hardworking individuals who used nets, boats, and other tools to catch fish. The profession required skill, patience, and perseverance. In the New Testament, several of Jesus' disciples, including Peter, Andrew, James, and John, were fishermen by trade. This background provided a rich metaphor for their new mission as disciples of Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/231.htm">halieus</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to fish<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fishing (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 232: ἁλιεύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἁλιεύω</span></span>; (<span class="greek2">ἁλιεύς</span>); <span class="accented">to fish</span>: <a href="/interlinear/john/21-3.htm">John 21:3</a>.
