Lukas 1:65

1:65 All ¹  their neighbors were filled with fear, and throughout the entire hill country of Judea all these things were talked about.

Lukas 5:1

The Call of the Disciples

5:1 Now ²  Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, ³  and the crowd was pressing around him ⁴  to hear the word of God.

[1:65]  ¹ tn Grk “And all.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[1:65]  sn Fear is the emotion that comes when one recognizes something unusual, even supernatural, has taken place.

[5:1]  ² tn Grk “Now it happened that.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[5:1]  ³ sn The Lake of Gennesaret is another name for the Sea of Galilee. Cf. the parallel in Matt 4:18.

[5:1]  ⁴ sn The image of the crowd pressing around him suggests the people leaning forward to catch Jesus’ every word.
