Tag Archives: Luke 5:2

In this scene from the calling of the first disciples, Luke captures a quiet but significant moment by the lakeshore using vivid participles, perfect tenses, and spatial prepositions: καὶ εἶδε δύο πλοῖα ἑστῶτα παρὰ τὴν λίμνην· οἱ δὲ ἁλιεῖς ἀποβάντες ἀπ’ αὐτῶν ἀπέπλυνον τὰ δίκτυα from Luke 5:2. The grammar here sets the stage for divine encounter by portraying ordinary activity with precise and poetic construction.
