Luke 5
1 Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, 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 He 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 He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from 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 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
And when He left off speaking, He said to Simon, “Put back into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch”;
5 Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your 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 When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net was breaking,
7 They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came and filled both 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 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, 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 amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the catch of the fishes that they took,
10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”
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 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 While he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can 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 He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” 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 He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what 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 the report concerning him spread much more, 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 But he withdrew himself into the desert and prayed.
and He was withdrawing Himself in the desolate places and was praying.
17 On one of those days, he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him 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 Behold, men brought a paralysed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus.
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 Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the middle 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 Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
and He having seen their faith, said to him, “Man, your sins have been forgiven you.”
21 The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks 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 them, “Why are you reasoning so 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, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ 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 you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralysed man, “I tell you, arise, take up your cot, and go to your 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 Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his 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 Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”
and astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying, “We saw strange things today.”
27 After these things he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and 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 He left everything, and rose up and followed him.
and he, having left all, having arisen, followed Him.
29 Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining 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 Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors 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 Jesus answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
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 the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to conversion.”
33 They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours 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 He said to them, “Can you make the friends 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 when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. 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 He also told a parable to them. “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match 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 No one puts new wine into old wine skins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled and the skins will be destroyed.
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 fresh wine skins, and both are preserved.
but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved together;
39 No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
and no one having drunk old, immediately wishes new, for he says, The old is better.”
