Luke 5
1 And it came to pass, as the multitude was pressing upon him and hearing the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,
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,
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 boats standing beside the lake, and the fishers, having gone away from them, were washing the 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 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.
4 And when he had done speaking, he said to Simon, Put out into deep water, and let down your nets for a draught.
And when He left off speaking, He said to Simon, “Put back into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch”;
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 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.”
6 And having done this, they inclosed great multitude of fishes; and their nets began to break.
And having done this, they enclosed 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 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.
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 having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, “Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O Lord”;
9 For he and all that were with him were amazed at the draught of fishes, which they had taken;
for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the catch of the fishes that they took,
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 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”;
11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
and they, having brought the boats on the land, having left all, 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, 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”;
13 And he put forth his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed. And immediately the leprosy left him.
and having stretched forth [His] hand, He touched him, having said, “I will, be cleansed”; and immediately the leprosy went away 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 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”;
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.
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,
16 But he was wont to withdraw to desert places, and pray.
and He was withdrawing Himself in the desolate places and was 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 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.
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 bed, who has been struck with palsy, and they were seeking to bring him in, and to place 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 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,
20 And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins have been forgiven thee.
and He having seen their faith, said to him, “Man, your sins have been forgiven you.”
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 the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this that speaks evil words? 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 Jesus having known their reasonings, answering, said to them, “What reason you in your hearts?
23 Which is easier? to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee? or to say, Arise, and walk?
Which is easier—to say, Your sins have been forgiven you? Or to say, Arise, and walk?
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.
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.”
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 risen before them, having taken up [that] on which he was lying, he went away to his 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 astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying, “We saw strange things today.”
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 went forth, and beheld a tax collector, by name Levi, sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow Me”;
28 And leaving everything, he arose and followed him.
and he, having left all, having arisen, 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 entertainment to Him in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax collectors and others who were with them reclining,
30 And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans and sinners?
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?”
31 And Jesus answering said to them, They who are well do not need a physician, but they who are sick.
And Jesus answering said to them, “They who are well have no need of a physician, but they that are ill:
32 I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners to repentance.
I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to conversion.”
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, “Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make supplications—in like manner also those of the Pharisees—but Yours 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, “Are you able to make the sons of the bride-chamber—in the Bridegroom being with them—to fast?
35 But the days will come—and when the bridegroom is taken from them, then will they fast in those days.
But days will come, and when the Bridegroom may be taken away from them, then they will 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.
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.
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 skins, and if otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;
38 But new wine must be put into new skins.
but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved together;
39 And no one, having drunk old wine, desireth new; for he saith, The old is good.
and no one having drunk old, immediately wishes new, for he says, The old is better.”
