Mark 4:1

The Parable of the Sower

4:1 Again he began to teach by the lake. Such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat on the lake and sat there while ¹  the whole crowd was on the shore by the lake.

Luke 5:3

5:3 He got into ²  one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then ³  Jesus ⁴  sat down ⁵  and taught the crowds from the boat.

[4:1]  ¹ tn Grk “and all the crowd.” The clause in this phrase, although coordinate in terms of grammar, is logically subordinate to the previous clause.

[5:3]  ² tn Grk “Getting into”; the participle ἐμβάς (embas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

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

[5:3]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

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