14 Simon, G4613 (whom G3739 he also G2532 named G3687 Peter,) G4074 and G2532 Andrew G406 his G846 brother, G80 James G2385 and G2532 John, G2491 Philip G5376 and G2532 Bartholomew, G918
And G2532 when G3753 they were come in, G1525 they went up G305 into G1519 an upper room, G5253 where G3757 abode G2258 G2650 both G5037 Peter, G4074 and G2532 James, G2385 and G2532 John, G2491 and G2532 Andrew, G406 Philip, G5376 and G2532 Thomas, G2381 Bartholomew, G918 and G2532 Matthew, G3156 James G2385 the son of Alphaeus, G256 and G2532 Simon G4613 Zelotes, G2208 and G2532 Judas G2455 the brother of James. G2385
And G2532 going on G4260 from thence, G1564 he saw G1492 other G243 two G1417 brethren, G80 James G2385 the son of G3588 Zebedee, G2199 and G2532 John G2491 his G846 brother, G80 in G1722 a ship G4143 with G3326 Zebedee G2199 their G846 father, G3962 mending G2675 their G846 nets; G1350 and G2532 he called G2564 them. G846
And G1161 Jesus, G2424 walking G4043 by G3844 the sea G2281 of Galilee, G1056 saw G1492 two G1417 brethren, G80 Simon G4613 called G3004 Peter, G4074 and G2532 Andrew G406 his G846 brother, G80 casting G906 a net G293 into G1519 the sea: G2281 for G1063 they were G2258 fishers. G231
Philip G5376 findeth G2147 Nathanael, G3482 and G2532 saith G3004 unto him, G846 We have found G2147 him, of whom G3739 Moses G3475 in G1722 the law, G3551 and G2532 the prophets, G4396 did write, G1125 Jesus G2424 of G575 Nazareth, G3478 the son G5207 of Joseph. G2501
Simon G4826 Peter, G4074 a servant G1401 and G2532 an apostle G652 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 to them that have obtained G2975 like precious G2472 faith G4102 with us G2254 through G1722 the righteousness G1343 of God G2316 and G2532 our G2257 Saviour G4990 Jesus G2424 Christ: G5547
So G3767 when G3753 they had dined, G709 Jesus G2424 saith G3004 to Simon G4613 Peter, G4074 Simon, G4613 son of Jonas, G2495 lovest thou G25 me G3165 more than G4119 these? G5130 He saith G3004 unto him, G846 Yea, G3483 Lord; G2962 thou G4771 knowest G1492 that G3754 I love G5368 thee. G4571 He saith G3004 unto him, G846 Feed G1006 my G3450 lambs. G721 He saith G3004 to him G846 again G3825 the second time, G1208 Simon, G4613 son of Jonas, G2495 lovest thou G25 me? G3165 He saith G3004 unto him, G846 Yea, G3483 Lord; G2962 thou G4771 knowest G1492 that G3754 I love G5368 thee. G4571 He saith G3004 unto him, G846 Feed G4165 my G3450 sheep. G4263 He saith G3004 unto him G846 the third G5154 time, Simon, G4613 son of Jonas, G2495 lovest G5368 thou me? G3165 Peter G4074 was grieved G3076 because G3754 he said G2036 unto him G846 the third G5154 time, Lovest G5368 thou me? G3165 And G2532 he said G2036 unto him, G846 Lord, G2962 thou G4771 knowest G1492 all things; G3956 thou G4771 knowest G1097 that G3754 I love G5368 thee. G4571 Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto him, G846 Feed G1006 my G3450 sheep. G4263 Verily, G281 verily, G281 I say G3004 unto thee, G4671 When G3753 thou wast G2258 young, G3501 thou girdedst G2224 thyself, G4572 and G2532 walkedst G4043 whither G3699 thou wouldest: G2309 but G1161 when G3752 thou shalt be old, G1095 thou shalt stretch forth G1614 thy G4675 hands, G5495 and G2532 another G243 shall gird G2224 thee, G4571 and G2532 carry G5342 thee whither G3699 thou wouldest G2309 not. G3756 G1161 This G5124 spake he, G2036 signifying G4591 by what G4169 death G2288 he should glorify G1392 God. G2316 And G2532 when he had spoken G2036 this, G5124 he saith G3004 unto him, G846 Follow G190 me. G3427 Then G1161 Peter, G4074 turning about, G1994 seeth G991 the disciple G3101 whom G3739 Jesus G2424 loved G25 following; G190 which G3739 also G2532 leaned G377 on G1909 his G846 breast G4738 at G1722 supper, G1173 and G2532 said, G2036 Lord, G2962 which G5101 is he G2076 that betrayeth G3860 thee? G4571 Peter G4074 seeing G1492 him G5126 saith G3004 to Jesus, G2424 Lord, G2962 and G1161 what G5101 shall this man G3778 do? Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto him, G846 If G1437 I will G2309 that he G846 tarry G3306 till G2193 I come, G2064 what G5101 is that to G4314 thee? G4571 follow G190 thou G4771 me. G3427 Then G3767 went G1831 this G3778 saying G3056 abroad G1831 among G1519 the brethren, G80 that G3754 that G1565 disciple G3101 should G599 not G3756 die: G599 yet G2532 Jesus G2424 said G2036 not G3756 unto him, G846 G3754 He shall G599 not G3756 die; G599 but, G235 If G1437 I will G2309 that he G846 tarry G3306 till G2193 I come, G2064 what G5101 is that to G4314 thee? G4571 This G3778 is G2076 the disciple G3101 which G3588 testifieth G3140 of G4012 these things, G5130 and G2532 wrote G1125 these things: G5023 and G2532 we know G1492 that G3754 his G846 testimony G3141 is G2076 true. G227
When Jesus G2424 then G3767 lifted up G1869 his eyes, G3788 and G2532 saw G2300 G3754 a great G4183 company G3793 come G2064 unto G4314 him, G846 he saith G3004 unto G4314 Philip, G5376 Whence G4159 shall we buy G59 bread, G740 that G2443 these G3778 may eat? G5315
Philip, G5376 and G2532 Bartholomew; G918 Thomas, G2381 and G2532 Matthew G3156 the publican; G5057 James G2385 the son of G3588 Alphaeus, G256 and G2532 Lebbaeus, G3002 whose surname was G1941 Thaddaeus; G2280
One G1520 of G1537 the two G1417 which G3588 heard G191 G3844 John G2491 speak, and G2532 followed G190 him, G846 was G2258 Andrew, G406 Simon G4613 Peter's G4074 brother. G80 He G3778 first G4413 findeth G2147 his own G2398 brother G80 Simon, G4613 and G2532 saith G3004 unto him, G846 We have found G2147 the Messias, G3323 which G3739 is, G2076 being interpreted, G3177 the Christ. G5547 And G2532 he brought G71 him G846 to G4314 Jesus. G2424 And G1161 when Jesus G2424 beheld G1689 him, G846 he said, G2036 Thou G4771 art G1488 Simon G4613 the son G5207 of Jona: G2495 thou G4771 shalt be called G2564 Cephas, G2786 which G3739 is by interpretation, G2059 A stone. G4074
And G1161 so G3668 was also G2532 James, G2385 and G2532 John, G2491 the sons G5207 of Zebedee, G2199 which G3739 were G2258 partners G2844 with Simon. G4613 And G2532 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto G4314 Simon, G4613 Fear G5399 not; G3361 from G575 henceforth G3568 thou shalt G2071 catch G2221 men. G444
And G2532 after G3326 six G1803 days G2250 Jesus G2424 taketh G3880 with him Peter, G4074 and G2532 James, G2385 and G2532 John, G2491 and G2532 leadeth G399 them G846 up G399 into G1519 an high G5308 mountain G3735 apart G2596 G2398 by themselves: G3441 and G2532 he was transfigured G3339 before G1715 them.

Commentary on Luke 6 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 6
In this chapter we have Christ's exposition of the moral law, which he came not to destroy, but to fulfil, and to fill up, by his gospel.
Luk 6:1-11
These two passages of story we had both in Matthew and Mark, and they were there laid together (Mt. 12:1; Mk. 2:23; 3:1), because, though happening at some distance of time from each other, both were designed to rectify the mistakes of the scribes and Pharisees concerning the sabbath day, on the bodily rest of which they laid greater stress and required greater strictness than the Law-giver intended. Here,
Luk 6:12-19
In these verses, we have our Lord Jesus in secret, in his family, and in public; and in all three acting like himself.
Luk 6:20-26
Here begins a practical discourse of Christ, which is continued to the end of the chapter, most of which is found in the sermon upon the mount, Mt. 5 and 7. Some think that this was preached at some other time and place, and there are other instances of Christ's preaching the same things, or to the same purport, at different times; but it is probable that this is only the evangelist's abridgment of that sermon, and perhaps that in Matthew too is but an abridgment; the beginning and the conclusion are much the same; and the story of the cure of the centurion's servant follows presently upon it, both there and here, but it is not material. In these verses, we have,
"Such usage as this seems hard; but blessed are you when you are so used. It is so far from depriving you of your happiness that it will greatly add to it. It is an honour to you, as it is to a brave hero to be employed in the wars, in the service of his prince; and therefore rejoice you in that day, and leap for joy, v. 23. Do not only bear it, but triumph in it. For,'
Luk 6:27-36
These verses agree with Mt. 5:38, to the end of that chapter: I say unto you that hear (v. 27), to all you that hear, and not to disciples only, for these are lessons of universal concern. He that has an ear, let him hear. Those that diligently hearken to Christ shall find he has something to say to them well worth their hearing. Now the lessons Christ here teacheth us are,
Luk 6:37-49
All these sayings of Christ we had before in Matthew; some of them in ch. 7, others in other places. They were sayings that Christ often used; they needed only to be mentioned, it was easy to apply them. Grotius thinks that we need not be critical here in seeking for the coherence: they are golden sentences, like Solomon's proverbs or parables. Let us observe here,
