Fishing for Men Is Violent: Rethinking What it Means to Be a Fisher of Men in a Hebrew Background

A “fisher of men” is a violent, judgment-laden image in the Hebrew prophets, not a quaint play on words. When you are the “caught fish” in the Old Testament, life as you know it is now over; something very new is about to begin. What’s more, seas and waves are emblems of chaos and the Gentile world in the Old Testament. When, through Hebrew eyes, we read about Jesus calling his disciples to be fishers of men, this changes our perspective on their mission. Join ‪@chadbird1517‬ as he looks at Mark 1:14-20 this week to discuss fishing; whether the Sea of Galilee is a “sea” at all; the military background of the Hebrew word for “gospel”; and much more.

Week after week these insights from the Old Testament Hebrew background blow my mind. I'd love to hear you preach this gospel after doing this study!

As always, such a blessing sitting under your teaching. A question: since becoming Lutheran about 20 years ago, I have learned to "read" the Bible differently i.e. Law and Gospel-but also in terms of watching closely to whom Jesus is speaking. I think I did that before, but now with a greater sense of having called and ordained servants. Is Jesus in this passage dealing with the call on the life of the twelve and those following them into the ministry only? Or a more general "fishers of men" application? Thanks again, brother.

That's a great question that many people don't pause to ask. And, as you indicate, one applicable to a number of passages. In this case, I think it's a situation of general applicability, but also with a distinct application to those in the ministry. What I mean is this: the foundational fishermen, if you will, will always be the apostles. Carrying on that apostolic ministry are those who are called to the office of pastor. Their job, we might say, is fishing. Yet there are elements within that vocation that are applicable to everyone. For instance, we are all witnesses, teachers of the truth, students of the Word, etc. AND we all fish in our different vocations, that is, we all bear witness in this dark and chaotic world to the Christ who comes to rescue us from evil and sin. In short, while the whole vocation of some is fishing for men, within our respective vocations, we do so as well.
