Ichthus denotes fish as catches in nets, food shared with crowds, and individual fish in narrative comparisons and actions.

The term consistently denotes fish: most often fish gathered in nets or handled as food, while singular instances name a fish requested in a comparison or taken from the sea. The occurrences show the same concrete referent across catches, meals, and narrative actions rather than distinct lexical meanings.

1. Fish in catches, food, and individual narratives · dominant

   The plural genitive form ἰχθύων occurs with nets full of a catch in John 21:6 and Luke 5:6, and with food distributed or remaining after a meal in Mark 6:41 and Mark 6:43. Singular accusative forms identify the fish requested in a father-and-son comparison in Matthew 7:10 and the first fish taken from the sea in Matthew 17:27; in those verses the APB renders the relevant clauses with “fish.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB regularly presents the referent as “fish,” including catches in nets, food, and singular examples. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, its wording confirms the scenes without determining a separate nuance for each context.
