Luke 24:42

24:42 So ¹  they gave him a piece of broiled fish,

Luke 11:11

11:11 What father among you, if your ²  son asks for ³  a fish, will give him a snake ⁴  instead of a fish?

Luke 5:6

5:6 When ⁵  they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear. ⁶ 

Luke 5:9

5:9 For ⁷  Peter ⁸  and all who were with him were astonished ⁹  at the catch of fish that they had taken,

Luke 9:16

9:16 Then ¹⁰  he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven he gave thanks ¹¹  and broke them. He gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

Luke 9:13

9:13 But he said to them, “You ¹²  give them something to eat.” They ¹³  replied, ¹⁴  “We have no more than five loaves and two fish – unless ¹⁵  we go ¹⁶  and buy food ¹⁷  for all these people.”

[24:42]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Jesus’ request for food.

[11:11]  ² tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[11:11]  ³ tc Most mss (א A C D L W Θ Ψ Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat sy^c,p,h bo) have “bread, does not give him a stone instead, or” before “a fish”; the longer reading, however, looks like a harmonization to Matt 7:9. The shorter reading is thus preferred, attested by Ì^45,75 B 1241 pc sy^s sa.

[11:11]  ⁴ sn The snake probably refers to a water snake.

[5:6]  ³ tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:6]  ⁴ tn In context, this imperfect verb is best taken as an ingressive imperfect (BDF §338.1).

[5:9]  ⁴ 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.

[5:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:9]  ⁶ sn In the Greek text, this term is in an emphatic position.

[9:16]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[9:16]  ⁶ sn Gave thanks adds a note of gratitude to the setting. The scene is like two other later meals: Luke 22:19 and 24:30. Jesus gives thanks to God “with respect to” the provision of food. The disciples learn how Jesus is the mediator of blessing. John 6 speaks of him in this scene as picturing the “Bread of Life.”

[9:13]  ⁶ tn Here the pronoun ὑμεῖς (Jumeis) is used, making “you” in the translation emphatic.

[9:13]  ⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:13]  ⁸ tn Grk “said.”

[9:13]  ⁹ tn This possibility is introduced through a conditional clause, but it is expressed with some skepticism (BDF §376).

[9:13]  ¹⁰ tn The participle πορευθέντες (poreuqente") has been taken as indicating attendant circumstance.

[9:13]  ¹¹ sn Not only would going and buying food have been expensive and awkward at this late time of day, it would have taken quite a logistical effort to get the food back out to this isolated location.
