ἁλι-εύω G0232
To fish, to engage in catching fish as an occupation or activity
This verb means to catch fish or practice the fishing trade. In John 21:3, Peter announces 'I am going fishing,' returning to his former occupation after Jesus' resurrection. Classical Greek used the middle voice for professional fishing activity. The multilingual evidence (Spanish 'a-pescar', French 'pêcher', German 'fischen') uniformly captures this occupational sense. Peter's declaration marks a pivotal moment when the disciples seem to revert to their pre-calling life before Jesus restores Peter by the lakeside.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The present active infinitive expresses ongoing fishing activity, typically professional rather than recreational. Classical usage distinguished between active catching and the middle voice for being a fisherman by trade. Peter's return to fishing after the resurrection creates narrative tension resolved only when Jesus appears and reinstates him, transforming him from catching fish to shepherding people as the risen Lord commissioned. 1×
