Luke 5:9

5:9 For ¹  Peter ²  and all who were with him were astonished ³  at the catch of fish that they had taken,

Luke 6:19

6:19 The ⁴  whole crowd was trying to touch him, because power ⁵  was coming out from him and healing them all.

Luke 12:41

12:41 Then ⁶  Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for everyone?” ⁷ 

Luke 17:29

17:29 but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. ⁸ 

¹ 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.

² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ sn In the Greek text, this term is in an emphatic position.

⁴ tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁵ sn There was a recognition that there was great power at work through Jesus, the subject of a great debate in 11:14-23. Luke highlights Jesus’ healing ministry (5:17; 6:18; 7:7; 8:47; 9:11, 42; 14:4; 17:15; 18:42-43; 22:51; Acts 10:38).

⁷ tn Grk “And Peter.” Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the connection to the preceding statement.

⁸ sn Is the parable only for disciples (us) or for all humanity (everyone)? Or does Peter mean for disciples (us) or for the crowd (everyone)? The fact that unfaithful slaves are mentioned in v. 46 looks to a warning that includes a broad audience, though it is quality of service that is addressed. This means the parable focuses on those who are associated with Jesus.

¹⁰ sn And destroyed them all. The coming of the Son of Man will be like the judgment on Sodom, one of the most immoral places of the OT (Gen 19:16-17; Deut 32:32-33; Isa 1:10).
