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,
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 at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left 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 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.
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 Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water 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 “Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, 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 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.
And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net was breaking,
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.
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 this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “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 his companions were astonished at the catch of fish 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 his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will 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 ashore, they left everything and followed Him.
and they, having brought the boats on the land, having left all, followed Him.
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.”
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 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” 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 “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.”
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 news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
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 Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.
and He was withdrawing Himself in the desolate places and was praying.
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.
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 Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him 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 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.
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 When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
and He having seen their faith, said to him, “Man, your sins have been forgiven you.”
21 But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? 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 Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things 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,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
Which is easier—to say, Your sins have been forgiven you? Or to say, Arise, and walk?
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.”
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 the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home 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 Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”
and astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying, “We saw strange 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,
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 Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.
and he, having left all, having arisen, 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.
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 the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with 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, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the 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 the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to conversion.”
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.”
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 Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He 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 time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.
but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved together;
39 And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
and no one having drunk old, immediately wishes new, for he says, The old is better.”
