Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898–1904)· Public Domain

Fisher, says Bradley (Oxf. En{j. Diet.), is now archaic, being superseded in ordinary use by ' fisherman.' AV has lollowed previous versions in giving 'fisher' in Is 19^, Jer IG'", Ezk 47'° (Jn, only plu.), Mt 4i8-'», Mk I"-" (dXiei'.!), though 'it has ' nslierman ' after Tind. and the others (except Wye. and Rhem. ) in Lk 5' (dXif lis). For the ' fisher's coat ' of Jn 21' see CoAT.
