“And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,”
One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God — the Lake of Gennesaret (the Sea of Galilee) is the setting for the call of the first disciples in Luke, which is placed after the synagogue ministry rather than at the very beginning (as in Mark and Matthew). The people crowding and listening to the word of God establishes the teaching context from which the fishing miracle will emerge.
