Luke 5:3-4

5:3 He got into ¹  one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then ²  Jesus ³  sat down ⁴  and taught the crowds from the boat. 5:4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and lower ⁵  your nets for a catch.”

[5:3]  ¹ tn Grk “Getting into”; the participle ἐμβάς (embas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[5:3]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[5:3]  ³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:3]  ⁴ tn Grk “sitting down”; the participle καθίσας (kaqisa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[5:4]  ⁵ tn Or “let down.” The verb here is plural, so this is a command to all in the boat, not just Peter.
