Luke 5
1 Then it came to passe, as the people preassed vpon him to heare the word of God, that he stoode by the lake of Gennesaret,
And it came to pass, while the multitude is pressing on Him to hear the word of God, and He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;
2 And sawe two shippes stand by the lakes side, but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nettes.
and He saw two ships standing by the lake: the fishermen, having gone from them, were washing their nets.
3 And he entred into one of the ships, which was Simons, and required him that he would thrust off a litle from the land: and he sate downe, and taught the people out of the ship.
And having come into one of the ships, which belonged to Simon, He asked him to lead out a little from the land, and sitting down He was teaching the multitudes from the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he sayd vnto Simon, Lanch out into the deepe, and let downe your nettes to make a draught.
When He ceased speaking He said to Simon, Lead out into the deep, and spread your nets for a draught.
5 Then Simon answered, and sayd vnto him, Master, we haue trauailed sore all night, and haue taken nothing: neuerthelesse at thy worde I will let downe the net.
And Simon responding said to Him, Master, having toiled all night, we caught nothing: but at thy word I will spread the net.
6 And when they had so done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, so that their net brake.
And having done this, they caught a great multitude of fishes; and their net was breaking;
7 And they beckened to their parteners, which were in the other ship, that they shoulde come and helpe them, who came then, and filled both the ships, that they did sinke.
and they beckoned to their comrades in another ship, having come to assist them, And they came, and filled both ships, so as to sink them.
8 Now when Simon Peter saw it, he fel down at Iesus knees, saying, Lord, go from me: for I am a sinfull man.
And Simon Peter, seeing, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying; Depart from me, Lord, because I am a sinful man,
9 For he was vtterly astonied, and all that were with him, for the draught of fishes which they tooke.
For fear took hold of him, and all of those with him, at the draught of fishes which they received.
10 And so was also Iames and Iohn the sonnes of Zebedeus, which were companions with Simon. Then Iesus sayde vnto Simon, Feare not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
And likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were companions to Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; from now you shall be catching men.
11 And when they had brought the ships to land, they forsooke all, and followed him.
And drawing up their ships to the land, having left all things, they followed Him.
12 Nowe it came to passe, as he was in a certaine citie, beholde, there was a man full of leprosie, and when he sawe Iesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me cleane.
And it came to pass, while He was in one of the cities, and behold, there is a man full of leprosy: and seeing Jesus, having fallen on his face, he prayed to Him, saying, Lord, if you may will it, you are able to cleanse me.
13 So he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will, be thou cleane. And immediately the leprosie departed from him.
And reaching out His hand, He touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
14 And he commanded him that hee should tell it no man: but Go, sayth he, and shew thy selfe to the Priest, and offer for thy clensing, as Moses hath commanded, for a witnes vnto them.
And He commanded him to tell no one: but having gone away, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
15 But so much more went there a fame abroad of him, and great multitudes came together to heare, and to be healed of him of their infirmities.
And the word concerning Him was going abroad: and many multitudes continued to come, and be healed of their diseases by Him.
16 But he kept himselfe apart in the wildernes, and prayed.
And He was out in the deserts, and praying.
17 And it came to passe, on a certaine day, as he was teaching, that the Pharises and doctours of the Law sate by, which were come out of euery towne of Galile, and Iudea, and Hierusalem, and the power of the Lord was in him to heale them.
And He was in one of the cities, and was teaching; and there were many Pharisees and theologians, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
18 Then beholde, men brought a man lying in a bed, which was taken with a palsie, and they sought meanes to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
And behold, men carrying a man on a couch, who was paralyzed; and were seeking to bring him in, and place him before Him.
19 And when they could not finde by what way they might bring him in, because of the preasse, they went vp on the house, and let him downe through the tyling, bed and all, in the middes before Iesus.
And not having found by what way they may bring him in on account of the crowd, going upon the house, they let him down through the tiles along with the bed in their midst in the presence of Jesus.
20 And when he sawe their faith, he sayd vnto him, Man, thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
And seeing their faith, He said to him; Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 Then the Scribes and the Pharises began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? who can forgiue sinnes, but God onely?
And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, Who is this one who speaketh blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins, except God only?
22 But when Iesus perceiued their reasoning, he answered, and sayd vnto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
And having responded He said to them, Why do you reason in your hearts?
23 Whether is easier to say, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee, or to say, Rise and walke?
Which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven unto thee; or, to say. Arise and walk about?
24 But that ye may know that that Sonne of man hath authoritie to forgiue sinnes in earth, (he sayd vnto the sicke of the palsie) I say to thee, Arise: take vp thy bed, and goe to thine house.
But in order that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (He said to the paralyzed), I say unto thee, Arise, and having taken thy bed, go into thy house.
25 And immediatly he rose vp before them, and tooke vp his bed whereon he lay, and departed to his owne house, praysing God.
And immediately having arisen before them, taking the bed on which he was lying down, he went away to his own house, glorifying God.
26 And they were all amased, and praysed God, and were filled with feare, saying, Doutlesse we haue seene strange things to day.
And rapture seized them all, and they continued to glorify God; and they were filled with fear, saying, that, We have seen the paradoxical this day.
27 And after that, he went foorth and sawe a Publicane named Leui, sitting at the receite of custome, and sayd vnto him, Follow me.
And after these things He came out, and saw a publican, by name Levi, sitting at the toll, and He said to him, Follow me.
28 And he left all, rose vp, and folowed him.
And having left all things, rising up, he followed Him.
29 Then Leui made him a great feast in his owne house, where there was a great company of Publicanes, and of other that sate at table with them.
And Levi made a great feast for Him in his own house: and there was a great multitude of publicans and others who were sitting along with Him.
30 But they that were Scribes and Pharises among them, murmured against his disciples, saying, Why eate ye and drinke ye with Publicanes and sinners?
And their scribes and the Pharisees were murmuring to His disciples, saying, Wherefore do you eat and drink with publicans and, sinners?
31 Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, They that are whole, neede not the Physician, but they that are sicke.
And Jesus responding said to them, They that are whole have not need of a physician, but they that are sick;
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
33 Then they said vnto him, Why do the disciples of Iohn fast often, and pray, and the disciples of the Pharises also, but thine eate and drinke?
And they said to Him, Wherefore do the disciples of John fast, and make supplications; likewise also those of the Pharisees; but thy disciples eat and drink?
34 And he said vnto them, Can ye make the children of the wedding chamber to fast, as long as the bridegrome is with them?
And He said to them, Whether are you able to make the sons of the bridechamber to fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 But the dayes will come, euen when the bridegrome shalbe taken away from them: then shall they fast in those dayes.
But the days will come when the bridegroom must indeed be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days.
36 Againe he spake also vnto them a parable, No man putteth a piece of a newe garment into an olde vesture: for then the newe renteth it, and the piece taken out of the newe, agreeth not with the olde.
He also spoke a parable to them; Let no one put a piece of new cloth on an old garment; lest the new shall tear it, and the piece from the new will not fit the old.
37 Also no man powreth newe wine into olde vessels: for then ye new wine wil breake the vessels, and it will runne out, and the vessels will perish:
And no one puts new wine into old bottles; lest the new wine shall break the bottles, and it shall be poured out, and the bottles shall perish:
38 But newe wine must be powred into newe vessels: so both are preserued.
but the new wine is to be put into new bottles, and both will be preserved.
39 Also no man that drinketh olde wine, straightway desireth newe: for he sayth, The olde is more profitable.
No one drinking the old immediately wishes the new; for he says, The old is better.
