Exegesis
Finally, the aorist passive eschisthe {ἐσχίσθη | es-khís-thē} ‘was torn’ precedes the subject to diktyon {τὸ δίκτυον | tò dík-ty-on} ‘the net,’ heightening the climax of the intact net.
In context — John 21:11
So Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to the land, full of large fish—one hundred fifty-three in all. Even with so many , the net was not torn .
