Luke 5:6

When ¹  they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear. ² 

When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.

When they had done this, they enclosed a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to break;

And this time their nets were so full they began to tear!

It was no sooner said than done--a huge haul of fish, straining the nets past capacity.

And when they had done this, they got such a great number of fish that it seemed as if their nets would be broken;

When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break.

And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.

When ¹  they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear. ² 

¹ tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

² tn In context, this imperfect verb is best taken as an ingressive imperfect (BDF §338.1).
