fisher's coat: Or, upper coat, great coat, or, surtout, επενδυτην [Strong's G1903], from επι [Strong's G1909], upon, and ενδυω [Strong's G1746], I clothe.
naked: That is, he was only in his vest, or under garment; for γυμνος [Strong's G1131], naked, like the Hebrew arom is frequently applied to one who has merely laid aside his outer garment. See note on Sa1 19:24, and see note on Sa2 6:20. To which may be added what we read in the LXX, Job 22:6, "Thou has taken away the covering of the naked," αμφιαιν γυμνων, the plaid, or blanket, in which they wrapped themselves, and besides they had no other. In this sense Virgil says, Nudus ara, sere nudus "plough naked, and sow naked," i.e., strip off your upper garments.

that even: This is a very strong eastern expression to represent the number of miracles which Jesus wrought. But however strong and strange it may appear to us of the western world, we find sacred and other authors using hyperboles of the like kind and signification. See Num 13:33; Deu 1:28; Dan 4:11; Ecc 1:15. Basnage gives a very similar hyperbole taken from the Jewish writers, in which Jochanan is said to have "composed such a great number of precepts and lessons, that if the heavens were paper, and all the trees of the forest so many pens, and all the children of men so many scribes, they would not suffice to write all his lessons." Amo 7:10; Mat 19:24
