Expositor's Greek Testament (Nicoll)

Luke 5:3

ἐμβὰς : this action of Jesus would be noticed of course, and would bring the owner to His side. It was Simon's boat, the man whose mother-in-law, in Lk.'s narrative, had been healed of fever. ἐπαναγαγεῖν, to put out to sea, here and in Luke 5:4 and Matthew 21:18 only. ὀλίγον : just far enough to give command of the audience. ἐδίδασκεν : this teaching from a boat took place again on the day of the parables (Matthew 13:2; Mark 4:1). But that feature does not appear in the corresponding narrative of Lk. (Luke 8:4). Did Peter's call attract that feature from the later occasion in the tradition which Lk. followed?
