Luke 5
1 And it came to pass, that as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret.
AND it came to pass, as the multitude were thronging upon him, in order to hear the word of God, that 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 were washing [their] nets.
and he saw two vessels a-ground near the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the boat.
Then he went on board one of the vessels, which was Simon’s, and desired him to put off a little from the land: and sitting down, he taught the multitudes out of the vessel.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said to Simon, Lanch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
And when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Go off into deep water, and shoot your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said to him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing; nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net.
And Simon answering, said unto him, Sir, we have been toiling all night, and have taken nothing: but at thy command I will shoot the net.
6 And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net broke.
And having done so, they inclosed a prodigious multitude of fishes; and their net was broken.
7 And they beckoned to [their] partners, who were in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
And they made signals to their partners in the other vessels, that they should come to their assistance. And they came, and filled both the vessels, so that they were ready to founder.
8 When Simon Peter saw [it], he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
Then Simon Peter seeing it, fell down on his knees before Jesus, saying, Go from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord!
9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
For amazement had seized on him, and on all who were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had taken:

12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold, a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus, fell on [his] face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
And it came to pass as he was just at one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy! and seeing Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13 And he put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will: Be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
And he stretching out his hand touched him, saying, I will: be thou cleansed. And instantly the leprosy departed from him.
14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded for a testimony to them.

But he himself was in the desert for retirement and prayer.

18 And behold, men brought in a bed a man who was taken with the palsy: and they sought [means] to bring him in, and to lay [him] before him.
And behold, men carried on a couch a man who was a paralytic; and sought to bring him into the house, and to place him before him.
19 And when they could not find by what [way] they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went upon the house-top, and let him down through the tiling with [his] couch, into the midst before Jesus.
And not discovering by what means they could introduce him, because of the crowd, they went up to the roof, and through the tiling let him down with his little couch into the midst, before Jesus.

22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering, said to them, What reason ye in your hearts?
And Jesus knowing their reasoning, in reply said to them, Why do ye reason in your hearts?
23 Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise and walk?
