1 And G1161 it came to pass, G1096 that, as G1722 the people G3793 pressed upon G1945 him G846 to hear G191 the word G3056 of God, G2316 G2532 he G846 stood G2258 G2476 by G3844 the lake G3041 of Gennesaret, G1082
And the coast H1366 shall go down H3381 from Shepham H8221 to Riblah, H7247 on the east side H6924 of Ain; H5871 and the border H1366 shall descend, H3381 and shall reach H4229 unto the side H3802 of the sea H3220 of Chinnereth H3672 eastward: H6924
And from the plain H6160 to the sea H3220 of Chinneroth H3672 on the east, H4217 and unto the sea H3220 of the plain, H6160 even the salt H4417 sea H3220 on the east, H4217 the way H1870 to Bethjeshimoth; H1020 and from the south, H8486 under Ashdothpisgah: H798 H794
And G1161 Jesus, G2424 walking G4043 by G3844 the sea G2281 of Galilee, G1056 saw G1492 two G1417 brethren, G80 Simon G4613 called G3004 Peter, G4074 and G2532 Andrew G406 his G846 brother, G80 casting G906 a net G293 into G1519 the sea: G2281 for G1063 they were G2258 fishers. G231 And G2532 he saith G3004 unto them, G846 Follow G1205 G3694 me, G3450 and G2532 I will make G4160 you G5209 fishers G231 of men. G444 And G1161 they straightway G2112 left G863 their nets, G1350 and followed G190 him. G846 And G2532 going on G4260 from thence, G1564 he saw G1492 other G243 two G1417 brethren, G80 James G2385 the son of G3588 Zebedee, G2199 and G2532 John G2491 his G846 brother, G80 in G1722 a ship G4143 with G3326 Zebedee G2199 their G846 father, G3962 mending G2675 their G846 nets; G1350 and G2532 he called G2564 them. G846 And G1161 they immediately G2112 left G863 the ship G4143 and G2532 their G846 father, G3962 and followed G190 him. G846
And G2532 when they were gone over, G1276 they came G2064 into G1519 the land G1093 of Gennesaret. G1082
Now G1161 as he walked G4043 by G3844 the sea G2281 of Galilee, G1056 he saw G1492 Simon G4613 and G2532 Andrew G406 his G846 brother G80 casting G906 a net G293 into G1722 the sea: G2281 for G1063 they were G2258 fishers. G231 And G2532 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto them, G846 Come ye G1205 after G3694 me, G3450 and G2532 I will make G4160 you G5209 to become G1096 fishers G231 of men. G444 And G2532 straightway G2112 they forsook G863 their G846 nets, G1350 and followed G190 him. G846 And G2532 when he had gone G4260 a little G3641 further G4260 thence, G1564 he saw G1492 James G2385 the son G3588 of Zebedee, G2199 and G2532 John G2491 his G846 brother, G80 who G846 also G2532 were in G1722 the ship G4143 mending G2675 their nets. G1350 And G2532 straightway G2112 he called G2564 them: G846 and G2532 they left G863 their G846 father G3962 Zebedee G2199 in G1722 the ship G4143 with G3326 the hired servants, G3411 and went G565 after G3694 him. G846
And G1161 from G575 the days G2250 of John G2491 the Baptist G910 until G2193 now G737 the kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 suffereth violence, G971 and G2532 the violent G973 take G726 it G846 by force. G726
And G2532 when they had passed over, G1276 they came G2064 into G1909 the land G1093 of Gennesaret, G1082 and G2532 drew to the shore. G4358
And G2532 Jesus G2424 said, G2036 Who G5101 touched G680 me? G3450 When G1161 all G3956 denied, G720 Peter G4074 and G2532 they that were with G3326 him G846 said, G2036 Master, G1988 the multitude G3793 throng G4912 thee G4571 and G2532 press G598 thee, and G2532 sayest G3004 thou, Who G5101 touched G680 me? G3450
In G1722 the mean time, G3739 when there were gathered together G1996 an innumerable multitude G3461 of people, G3793 insomuch that G5620 they trode G2662 one upon another, G240 he began G756 to say G3004 unto G4314 his G846 disciples G3101 first of all, G4412 Beware G4337 ye G1438 of G575 the leaven G2219 of the Pharisees, G5330 which G3748 is G2076 hypocrisy. G5272

Commentary on Luke 5 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 5
In this chapter, we have,
Luk 5:1-11
This passage of story fell, in order of time, before the two miracles we had in the close of the foregoing chapter, and is the same with that which was more briefly related by Matthew and Mark, of Christ's calling Peter and Andrew to be fishers of men, Mt. 4:18, and Mk. 1:16. They had not related this miraculous draught of fishes at that time, having only in view the calling of his disciples; but Luke gives us that story as one of the many signs which Jesus did in the presence of his disciples, which had not been written in the foregoing books, Jn. 20:30, 31. Observe here,
Now by this vast draught of fishes,
Luk 5:12-16
Here is,
Luk 5:17-26
Here is,
Luk 5:27-39
All this, except the last verse, we had before in Matthew and Mark; it is not the story of any miracle in nature wrought by our Lord Jesus, but it is an account of some of the wonders of his grace, which, to those who understand things aright, are no less cogent proofs of Christ's being sent of God than the other.
