|And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
|And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
|And he told them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of people."
|And he told them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."
|'Of people' (i.e. a gender-neutral term) is more accurate than 'of men' as a translation of ανθρωπων, which is agreed by all sources for this verse.
|The context -- speaking to two rugged fishermen -- makes it clear that the masculine meaning of ανθρωπων was the connotation. In modern terminology, no few would use a football analogy with a gender-neutral pronoun.
