Luke 5:9

5:9 For Peter and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken,

Luke 5:4

5:4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and lower your nets for a catch.”

sn An explanatory conjunction (For) makes it clear that Peter’s exclamation is the result of a surprising set of events. He speaks, but the others feel similarly.

tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

sn In the Greek text, this term is in an emphatic position.

tn Or “let down.” The verb here is plural, so this is a command to all in the boat, not just Peter.
