Luke 5:3

3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

Ver. 3. He prayed him ] Gr. He gently asked him, ηρωτησεν , will you be pleased to thrust out a little? SeePhilippians 2:8-9; Philippians 2:8-9 . Posse el nolle, nobile est.

Taught the people out of the ship ] Any place served him for a pulpit. So if men be desirous to hear, they will make a mat a seat, a pair of legs a seat.
