Luke 5:7

5:7 So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were about to sink.

Luke 5:2

5:2 He saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.

Colossians 1:23

1:23 if indeed you remain in the faith, established and firm, without shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has also been preached in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become its servant.


tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate consequential nature of the action.

tn That is, “they signaled by making gestures” (L&N 33.485).

tn This infinitive conveys the idea that the boats were at the point of sinking.

tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

tn BDAG 276 s.v. ἑδραῖος suggests “firm, steadfast.”

tn BDAG 639 s.v. μετακινέω suggests “without shifting from the hope” here.
