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 saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them, and had washed the nets.
and He saw two ships standing by the lake: the fishermen, having gone from them, were washing their nets.
3 And going into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And sitting down in the boat, he taught the multitudes.
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 And when he had done speaking, he said to Simon, Put out into deep water, and let down your nets for a draught.
When He ceased speaking He said to Simon, Lead out into the deep, and spread your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing; but at thy word I will let down the nets.
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 having done this, they inclosed great multitude of fishes; and their nets began to break.
And having done this, they caught a great multitude of fishes; and their net was breaking;
7 And they beckoned to their partners in the other boat, to come and help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
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 And Simon Peter seeing it fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful 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 and all that were with him were amazed at the draught of fishes, which they had taken;
For fear took hold of him, and all of those with him, at the draught of fishes which they received.
10 and so were also James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; 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 their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
And drawing up their ships to the land, having left all things, they followed Him.
12 And it came to pass, when he was in one of the cities, lo! a man full of leprosy; and seeing Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me.
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 And he put forth his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed. And immediately the leprosy left 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 charged him to tell no one: but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing as Moses commanded, for a testimony to 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 the more went abroad the report concerning him; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed 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 was wont to withdraw to desert places, and pray.
And He was out in the deserts, and praying.
17 And it came to pass on a certain day, that he was teaching, and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present that he might heal.
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 And lo! men brought on a bed a man that was palsied; and they endeavored to bring him in, and to set 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 not finding any way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the house-top, and let him down through the tiling with the couch into the midst before Jesus.
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 seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins have been forgiven thee.
And seeing their faith, He said to him; Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?
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 Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered and said to them, What are ye thinking in your hearts?
And having responded He said to them, Why do you reason in your hearts?
23 Which is easier? to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee? or to say, Arise, and walk?
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 the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins, —he said to the palsied man, —I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go to thy 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 he immediately rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and went away to his house, giving glory to 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 amazement seized them all, and they gave glory to God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen 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 these things he went out, and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom-house; and he said to 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 leaving everything, he arose and followed him.
And having left all things, rising up, he followed Him.
29 And Levi made a great feast for him at his house, and there was a great company of publicans and others, who were reclining 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 And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans 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 And Jesus answering said to them, They who are well do not need a physician, but they who are sick.
And Jesus responding said to them, They that are whole have not need of a physician, but they that are sick;
32 I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners to repentance.
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
33 And they said to him, The disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink.
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 But Jesus said to them, Can ye make the companions of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom 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 days will come—and when the bridegroom is taken from them, then will they fast in those days.
But the days will come when the bridegroom must indeed be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days.
36 And he spoke also a parable to them: No one taketh a patch from a new garment and putteth it upon an old one; for then both the new garment would be rent, and the patch from the new garment would not match with the old.
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 And no one putteth new wine into old skins; for the new wine would burst the skins, and would itself run out, and the skins would be spoilt.
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 new wine must be put into new skins.
but the new wine is to be put into new bottles, and both will be preserved.
39 And no one, having drunk old wine, desireth new; for he saith, The old is good.
No one drinking the old immediately wishes the new; for he says, The old is better.
