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, 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 were washing [their] nets.
and He saw two boats standing beside the lake, and the fishers, having gone away from them, were washing the 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.
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 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 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 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 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 when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net broke.
And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net was breaking,
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 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 When Simon Peter saw [it], he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
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 was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the 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 [was] also James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not: from 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 forsook all, 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 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, 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 clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from 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 man: but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according 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 a fame of him went abroad: and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him 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 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
and He was withdrawing Himself in the desolate places and was praying.
17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was [present] to heal them.
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 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 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 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 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 when he saw their faith, he said to him, Man, thy sins are 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 who 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 when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering, said to them, What reason ye 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 are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise 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 power upon earth to forgive sins, He said to the sick with the palsy, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into 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 immediately he arose before them, and took up that on which he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying 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 they were all amazed, and they glorified 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 forth, and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: 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 he left all, arose, and followed him.
and he, having left all, having arisen, followed Him.
29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house; and there was a great company of publicans, and of others that sat down 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 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with 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 that are well need not a physician; but they that 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 came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to conversion.”
33 And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise [the disciples] 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 And he said to them, Can ye make the children of the bride-chamber 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, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will 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 man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old: if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was [taken] out of the new, agreeth not 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 man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles will perish.
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 bottles, and both are preserved.
but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved together;
39 No man also having drank old [wine], immediately desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
and no one having drunk old, immediately wishes new, for he says, The old is better.”
