Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 5:6

Luke 5:6. And their net brake.— Διερρηγνυτο,— was breaking, or began to break. This translation is justified by the words ωστε βυθιζεσθαι αυτα, in the following verse, which without dispute is there properlyrendered so that they began to sink. Thus also Matthew 9:18. My daughter u945?ρτι ετελευτησεν, is now (almost) dead, as is evident from Mark 5:23.Luke 8:49; Luke 8:49. So likewise chap. Luk 21:26 in the original men (almost) killed through fear. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 5:8

Luke 5:8. Depart from me,— Peter's words on this occasion may be variously interpreted; for we may suppose that, conscious of his sinfulness, he was afraid to be in Christ's company, lest some infirmity or offence might have exposed him to more than ordinary chastisements. Compare Judges 6:22; Judges 13:22.

Luke 5:17. And the power of the Lord was present, &c.— Our Lord not only preached such awakening sermons as might have converted them to righteousness, but he was ready to perform such astonishing miracles as ought to have removed all their scruples with respect to his mission.

See on Matthew 9:1. read more

And when he saw their faith,— That of the man, and of his friends,—though they themselves spake nothing; the miserable condition of the paralytic yet pleading with a voice far more eloquent than all language.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 5:5

5. Master—betokening not surely a first acquaintance, but a relationship already formed. all night—the usual time of fishing then (John 21:3), and even now Peter, as a fisherman, knew how hopeless it was to "let down his net" again, save as a mere act of faith, "at His word" of command, which carried in it, as it ever does, assurance of success. (This shows he must have been already and for some time a follower of Christ.) read more
