$ grep --help
...
Context control:
  -B, --before-context=NUM  print NUM lines of leading context
  -A, --after-context=NUM   print NUM lines of trailing context
  -C, --context=NUM         print NUM lines of output context
  -NUM                      same as --context=NUM
...

The manual pages (man grep) have a more detailed description of all of
grep's options.

Cheers,
