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 when the people were pressing on Him to hear the word of God, as He stood by the lake of Gennesareth, seeing two vessels at the edge of the lake,
2 And sawe two shippes stand by the lakes side, but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nettes.
(but the fishermen were gone out of them, and 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.
He went into one of them, which was Simon's, and desired him to put off a little way from the shore: and He sat down and taught 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.
And when He had done speaking, He said to Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down 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 answered and said unto Him, Master, we have been toiling all the night, and have caught nothing; however at thy word I will cast the net.
6 And when they had so done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, so that their net brake.
And when they had done this, they inclosed a 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 partners that were in the other ship, to come and help them; and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were even sinking: and when Simon Peter saw it,
8 Now when Simon Peter saw it, he fel down at Iesus knees, saying, Lord, go from me: for I am a sinfull man.
he fell at the knees of Jesus, saying, Lord, depart from me, for 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 he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had taken;
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.
as were also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Be not afraid, from henceforth thou shalt be a captor of men.
11 And when they had brought the ships to land, they forsooke all, and followed him.
And when they had brought their ships to land, they left all and 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 when He was in one of the cities of that country, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus, fell prostrate to Him, and besought Him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst 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 Jesus stretched out his hand and 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 charged him to tell no one: but go, said He, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing according 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.
But the fame of Him spread more and more, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.
16 But he kept himselfe apart in the wildernes, and prayed.
But He frequently retired into solitary places, and prayed.
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 one day, as He was teaching, there were pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present to heal the people:
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, some men bringing on a couch a man that was paralytic; and they endeavoured to bring him in, and lay 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.
but when they could not find what way to bring him in because of the croud, they went up on the battlements of the house, and let him down from the roof with his couch, into the midst before Jesus,
20 And when he sawe their faith, he sayd vnto him, Man, thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
who seeing their faith said unto 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 cavil, saying, Who is this that talketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God?
22 But when Iesus perceiued their reasoning, he answered, and sayd vnto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
but Jesus knowing their thoughts, answered and said unto them, What are ye disputing in your hearts?
23 Whether is easier to say, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee, or to say, Rise and walke?
Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say, Rise up and walk?
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 that ye may know, that the Son of man hath power even on earth to forgive sins, (He spake to the paralytic) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go to thine 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 he rose up before them, took up the bed on which he lay, and went away to his 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 they were all amazed and glorified God, and were filled with awe, saying, we have seen wonderful things to-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.
After these things He went out and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom-house, and said to him, Follow me:
28 And he left all, rose vp, and folowed him.
and he left all, rose up, and 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 Him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great number of publicans, and others at table with them.
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 pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye 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 answered and said unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I am not come to call the righteous,
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
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 unto Him, Why do the disciples of John frequently fast and pray, and likewise those of the pharisees; but thine 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 unto them, Can ye make those of the bride-chamber 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 shall be taken from them, then they will fast.
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.
Then He spake a parable to them, That no one putteth a piece of new cloth upon an old garment: otherwise, the new maketh a rent, and doth not match 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:
nor doth any one put new wine in to old vessels; otherwise, the new wine will burst the casks, and be spilled, and the vessels will be destroyed:
38 But newe wine must be powred into newe vessels: so both are preserued.
but new wine must be put into new vessels, and then both are saved.
39 Also no man that drinketh olde wine, straightway desireth newe: for he sayth, The olde is more profitable.
And no one that has been drinking old wine, immediately desireth new; for he saith, the old is better.
