Luke 5
1 And it came to pass, in the multitude pressing on Him to hear the word of God, that He was standing beside 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 He saw two boats standing beside the lake, and the fishers, having gone away from them, were washing the nets,
(but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets: )
3 and having entered into one of the boats, that was Simon’s, He asked him to put back a little from the land, and having sat down, was teaching the multitudes out of the boat.
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 And when He left off speaking, He said to Simon, “Put back into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch”;
And when He had done speaking, He said to Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 and Simon answering said to Him, “Master, through the whole night, having labored, we have taken nothing, but at Your saying I will let down 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 having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net was breaking,
And when they had done this, they inclosed a multitude of fishes; and their net was breaking.
7 and they beckoned to the partners who [are] in the other boat, having come, to help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, so that they were sinking.
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 And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, “Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O Lord”;
he fell at the knees of Jesus, saying, Lord, depart from me, for I am a sinful man;
9 for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the catch of the fishes that they took,
for he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had taken;
10 and in like manner also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon; and Jesus said to Simon, “Do not fear, from now on you will be catching 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 they, having brought the boats on the land, having left all, followed Him.
And when they had brought their ships to land, they left all and followed Him.
12 And it came to pass, in His being in one of the cities, that behold, a man full of leprosy, and having seen Jesus, having fallen on [his] face, he implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You may will, You are able to cleanse me”;
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 and having stretched forth [His] hand, He touched him, having said, “I will, be cleansed”; and immediately the leprosy went away 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 charged him to tell no one, “But having gone away, show yourself to the priest, and bring near for your cleansing according as Moses directed, for a testimony to 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 the more was the report going abroad concerning Him, and great multitudes were coming together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their sicknesses,
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 and He was withdrawing Himself in the desolate places and was praying.
But He frequently retired into solitary places, and prayed.
17 And it came to pass, on one of the days, that He was teaching, and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who were come out of every village of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the LORD was—to heal 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 And behold, men carrying a man on a bed, who has been struck with palsy, and they were seeking to bring him in, and to place 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 having not found by what way they may bring him in because of the multitude, having gone up on the housetop, through the tiles they let him down with the little bed, into the midst before Jesus,
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 He having seen their faith, said to him, “Man, your sins have been forgiven you.”
who seeing their faith said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this that speaks evil words? Who is able to forgive sins, except God only?”
And the scribes and pharisees began to cavil, saying, Who is this that talketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God?
22 And Jesus having known their reasonings, answering, said to them, “What reason you in your hearts?
but Jesus knowing their thoughts, answered and said unto them, What are ye disputing in your hearts?
23 Which is easier—to say, Your sins have been forgiven you? Or to say, Arise, and walk?
Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 And that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins—(He said to the one struck with palsy)—I say to you, arise, and having taken up your little bed, be going on to your 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 immediately having risen before them, having taken up [that] on which he was lying, he went away to his house, glorifying 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 astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying, “We saw strange things today.”
And they were all amazed and glorified God, and were filled with awe, saying, we have seen wonderful things to-day.
27 And after these things He went forth, and beheld a tax collector, by name Levi, sitting at the tax office, and said to 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, having left all, having arisen, followed Him.
and he left all, rose up, and followed Him.
29 And Levi made a great entertainment to Him in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax collectors and others who were with them reclining,
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 and the scribes and the Pharisees among them were murmuring at His disciples, saying, “Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
And their scribes and pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 And Jesus answering said to them, “They who are well have no need of a physician, but they that are ill:
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 did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to conversion.”
but sinners to repentance.
33 And they said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make supplications—in like manner also those of the Pharisees—but Yours eat and drink?”
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 to them, “Are you able to make the sons of the bride-chamber—in the Bridegroom being with them—to fast?
And He said unto them, Can ye make those of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 But days will come, and when the Bridegroom may be taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.”
but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, then they will fast.
36 And He spoke also an allegory to them: “No one puts a patch of new clothing on old clothing, and if otherwise, the new also makes a split, and with the old the patch does not agree, that [is] from the new.
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 And no one puts new wine into old skins, and if otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;
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 new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved together;
but new wine must be put into new vessels, and then both are saved.
39 and no one having drunk old, immediately wishes new, for he says, The old is better.”
And no one that has been drinking old wine, immediately desireth new; for he saith, the old is better.
