This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pressed (ἐπικεῖσθαι)
Lit., were laid upon.
To hear
The A. V. is correct according to the reading τοῦ ἀκούειν, which it follows. The true reading is καὶ ἀκούειν, and heard. So Rev.
He stood (αὐτὸς ἦν ἑστὼς)
The pronoun distinguishes him from the crowd which pressed upon him: he on his part stood. Render the participle and finite verb as Rev., was standing.
Lake (λίμνην)
An illustration of the more classical style of Luke as compared with Matthew and Mark. They and John also use θάλασσα, sea. See on Mat 4:18.
