This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 5:1. Ἐγένετο δὲ, moreover it came to pass) This is in close connection with ch. Luk 4:44.[54]-ἐπικεῖσθαι) The people pressed upon Him. Hence is evidenced the patient endurance of the Saviour.
[54] Beng. seems to have subsequently adopted a different opinion, when both in the later Edition of the New Testament he began the fifth chapter with a larger capital letter, to indicate a greater division between it and the last verses of ch. 4; and in the Harm. Ev. he has set down the incidents which are given in ch. Luk 4:42-44, after those which we have in ch. Luk 5:1, etc., as we may see l. c. § 48, compared with § 35, 36. But as to Transpositions-viz. those which are to be especially attributed to Luke-I should like any one, who desires a brief and powerful suggestion of advice, to weigh well what Beng. has said in his Ordo Temp., pp. 242, 243 (Ed. ii. pp. 211, 212).-E.
