< Luke 5 >

1 On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God,
ⲁ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙⲡⲧⲣⲉⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ϣⲟⲩⲟ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲛⲥⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲡⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲗⲓⲙⲛⲏ ⲛⲅⲉⲛⲛⲏⲍⲁⲣⲉⲧʾ.
2 He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.
ⲃ̅ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϫⲟⲓ̈ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲛⲧⲗⲓⲙⲛⲏ (ⲛ)ⲉⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲓ̈ⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϣⲛⲏⲟⲩ.
3 Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.
ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲁⲗⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲁ ⲛⲛϫⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲁⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϩⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈. ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲡϫⲟⲉⲓ ⲁϥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ.
4 When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲕⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲧʾ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲭⲁⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϣⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉϭⲱⲡⲉ.
5 “Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”
ⲉ̅ⲁⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ. ⲡⲥⲁϩ. ⲁⲛϣⲉⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ϩⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ϭⲉⲡⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲕϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲭⲁⲗⲁ ⲛⲛⲉϣⲛⲏⲟⲩ.
6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.
ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲣ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲃⲧ̅ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ. ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉϣⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲱϩ ⲡⲉ.
7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩϫⲱⲣⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛⲉⲩⲕⲉϣⲃⲉⲉⲣ ⲉⲧϩⲓⲡⲕⲉϫⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛⲥⲉϯⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲉϩⲡϫⲟⲉⲓ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲱⲙⲥ̅.
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”
ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛϭⲓⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲡⲁϩⲧϥ̅ ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲁϩⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲣ̅ⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
9 For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,
ⲑ̅ⲛⲉⲁⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩϩⲥ̅ ⲛⲛ̅ⲧⲃ̅ⲧʾ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϭⲟⲡⲥ̅.
10 and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”
ⲓ̅ϩⲟⲙⲟⲓⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲕⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲍⲉⲃⲉⲇⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲛⲉⲩⲟ̅ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ. ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ. ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲕϭⲉⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
11 And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲙⲁⲛⲉⲛⲉϫⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ·
12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ. ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲃⲁϩ. ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲡⲁϩⲧϥ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⲁϥⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲓ̈.
13 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲥⲟⲩⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥϫⲱϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲡⲥⲱⲃⲁϩ ⲕⲁⲁϥ.
14 “Do not tell anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲣ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲅ̅ⲧⲟⲩⲟⲕ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲛⲅ̅ⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲁⲡⲉⲕⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ.
15 But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲁⲗϭⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϣⲱⲛⲉ.
16 Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲓϩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϫⲁⲓ̈ⲉ ⲉϥϣⲗⲏⲗ·
17 One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϯⲥⲃⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ϩⲉⲛⲛⲟⲙⲟⲇⲓⲇⲁⲥⲕⲁⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛϯⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ. ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲧⲁⲗϭⲟ.
18 Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲓⲥϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲏϭ ϩⲓϫⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛⲅ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲁϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
19 but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲡⲟⲩϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲛ̅ϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϫⲉⲛⲉⲡⲱⲣ ⲁⲩⲭⲁⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲣⲁⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲉϭⲗⲟϭ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
20 When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
ⲕ̅ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
21 But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲁⲣⲭⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ. ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ. ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲕⲁⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲥⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ.
22 Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲓ̈ⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲩⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ. ⲁϩⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ
23 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲟⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ (ϫⲉ) ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ.
24 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ϩⲓϫⲛ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲕⲁⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧʾⲥⲏϭ ϫⲉ. ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅ̅ϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲕϭⲗⲟϭ ⲛⲅ̅ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲏⲓ̈.
25 And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲉϥϭⲗⲟϭ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ̈ ⲉϥϯⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
26 Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲥⲁⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲗⲉⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲡⲉϥⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲕ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲓ̈.
28 and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29 Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲗⲉⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲣⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲙⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ̈. ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲏϫ.
30 But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
ⲗ̅ⲁⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲕⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲙ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱ ⲛⲙⲛⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲣ̅ⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ.
31 Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33 Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ. ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲥⲉⲛⲏⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲁⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ. ⲛⲟⲩⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉⲥⲱ.
34 Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.
ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲕⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲥⲗ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲧⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ϩⲓⲟⲩϣⲧⲏⲛ ⲛ̅ϣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲟⲣⲡ̅ⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲧⲏⲛ ⲙⲡⲗ̅ϭⲉ. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϥⲛⲁⲡⲁϩⲧⲕⲉϣⲧⲏⲛ ⲛ̅ϣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲧ̅ⲧⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ⲛϣⲁⲓ̈ ⲣ̅ϣⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲡⲗ̅ϭⲉ.
37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined.
