Luke 5:9

5:9 For ¹  Peter ²  and all who were with him were astonished ³  at the catch of fish that they had taken,

Luke 9:20

9:20 Then ⁴  he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter ⁵  answered, ⁶  “The Christ ⁷  of God.”

¹ sn An explanatory conjunction (For) makes it clear that Peter’s exclamation is the result of a surprising set of events. He speaks, but the others feel similarly.

² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ sn In the Greek text, this term is in an emphatic position.

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁶ tn Grk “Peter answering, said.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified to “Peter answered.”

⁷ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

sn See the note on Christ in 2:11.
