Luke 5:6

5:6 When ¹  they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear. ² 

Luke 5:2

5:2 He ³  saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.

Luke 5:4-5

5:4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and lower ⁴  your nets for a catch.” 5:5 Simon ⁵  answered, ⁶  “Master, ⁷  we worked hard all night and caught nothing! But at your word ⁸  I will lower ⁹  the nets.”

[5:6]  ¹ tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:6]  ² tn In context, this imperfect verb is best taken as an ingressive imperfect (BDF §338.1).

[5:2]  ³ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and 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.

[5:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “And Simon.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:5]  ⁸ tn Grk “answering, Simon said.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation to “Simon answered.”

[5:5]  ⁹ tn The word ἐπιστάτης is a term of respect for a person of high status (see L&N 87.50).

[5:5]  ¹⁰ tn The expression “at your word,” which shows Peter’s obedience, stands first in the Greek clause for emphasis.

[5:5]  ¹¹ tn Or “let down.”
