Luke 5
1 And it came to pass, as the crowd pressed on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret:
Then it came to passe, as the people preassed vpon him to heare the word of God, that he stoode by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 and he saw two ships standing by the lake, but the fishermen, having come down from them, were washing their nets.
And sawe two shippes stand by the lakes side, but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nettes.
3 And getting into one of the ships, which was Simon's, he asked him to draw out a little from the land; and he sat down and taught the crowds out of the ship.
And he entred into one of the ships, which was Simons, and required him that he would thrust off a litle from the land: and he sate downe, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 But when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Draw out into the deep [water] and let down your nets for a haul.
Now when he had left speaking, he sayd vnto Simon, Lanch out into the deepe, and let downe your nettes to make a draught.
5 And Simon answering said to him, Master, having laboured through the whole night we have taken nothing, but at thy word I will let down the net.
Then Simon answered, and sayd vnto him, Master, we haue trauailed sore all night, and haue taken nothing: neuerthelesse at thy worde I will let downe the net.
6 And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net broke.
And when they had so done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, so that their net brake.
7 And they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship to come and help them, and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were sinking.
And they beckened to their parteners, which were in the other ship, that they shoulde come and helpe them, who came then, and filled both the ships, that they did sinke.
8 But Simon Peter, seeing it, fell at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.
Now when Simon Peter saw it, he fel down at Iesus knees, saying, Lord, go from me: for I am a sinfull man.
9 For astonishment had laid hold on him, and on all those who were with him, at the haul of fishes which they had taken;
For he was vtterly astonied, and all that were with him, for the draught of fishes which they tooke.
10 and in like manner also on James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; henceforth thou shalt be catching men.
And so was also Iames and Iohn the sonnes of Zebedeus, which were companions with Simon. Then Iesus sayde vnto Simon, Feare not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11 And having run the ships on shore, leaving all they followed him.
And when they had brought the ships to land, they forsooke all, and followed him.
12 And it came to pass as he was in one of the cities, that behold, there was a man full of leprosy, and seeing Jesus, falling upon his face, he besought him saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me.
Nowe it came to passe, as he was in a certaine citie, beholde, there was a man full of leprosie, and when he sawe Iesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me cleane.
13 And stretching forth his hand he touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed: and immediately the leprosy departed from him.
So he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will, be thou cleane. And immediately the leprosie departed from him.
14 And he enjoined him to tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing as Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.
And he commanded him that hee should tell it no man: but Go, sayth he, and shew thy selfe to the Priest, and offer for thy clensing, as Moses hath commanded, for a witnes vnto them.
15 But the report concerning him was spread abroad still more, and great crowds came together to hear, and to be healed from their infirmities.
But so much more went there a fame abroad of him, and great multitudes came together to heare, and to be healed of him of their infirmities.
16 And he withdrew himself, and was about in the desert [places] and praying.
But he kept himselfe apart in the wildernes, and prayed.
17 And it came to pass on one of the days, that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and [out of] Jerusalem; and [the] Lord's power was [there] to heal them.
And it came to passe, on a certaine day, as he was teaching, that the Pharises and doctours of the Law sate by, which were come out of euery towne of Galile, and Iudea, and Hierusalem, and the power of the Lord was in him to heale them.
18 And lo, men bringing upon a couch a man who was paralysed; and they sought to bring him in, and put [him] before him.
Then beholde, men brought a man lying in a bed, which was taken with a palsie, and they sought meanes to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
19 And not finding what way to bring him in, on account of the crowd, going up on the housetop they let him down through the tiles, with his little couch, into the midst before Jesus.
And when they could not finde by what way they might bring him in, because of the preasse, they went vp on the house, and let him downe through the tyling, bed and all, in the middes before Iesus.
20 And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
And when he sawe their faith, he sayd vnto him, Man, thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason [in their minds], saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins but God alone?
Then the Scribes and the Pharises began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? who can forgiue sinnes, but God onely?
22 But Jesus, knowing their reasonings, answering said to them, Why reason ye in your hearts?
But when Iesus perceiued their reasoning, he answered, and sayd vnto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
23 which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
Whether is easier to say, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee, or to say, Rise and walke?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralysed man, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy little couch and go to thine house.
But that ye may know that that Sonne of man hath authoritie to forgiue sinnes in earth, (he sayd vnto the sicke of the palsie) I say to thee, Arise: take vp thy bed, and goe to thine house.
25 And immediately standing up before them, having taken up that whereon he was laid, he departed to his house, glorifying God.
And immediatly he rose vp before them, and tooke vp his bed whereon he lay, and departed to his owne house, praysing God.
26 And astonishment seized all, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.
And they were all amased, and praysed God, and were filled with feare, saying, Doutlesse we haue seene strange things to day.
27 And after these things he went forth and saw a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the receipt of taxes, and said to him, Follow me.
And after that, he went foorth and sawe a Publicane named Leui, sitting at the receite of custome, and sayd vnto him, Follow me.
28 And having left all, rising up, he followed him.
And he left all, rose vp, and folowed him.
29 And Levi made a great entertainment for him in his house, and there was a great crowd of tax-gatherers and others who were at table with them.
Then Leui made him a great feast in his owne house, where there was a great company of Publicanes, and of other that sate at table with them.
30 And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with tax-gatherers and sinners?
But they that were Scribes and Pharises among them, murmured against his disciples, saying, Why eate ye and drinke ye with Publicanes and sinners?
31 And Jesus answering said to them, They that are in sound health have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.
Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, They that are whole, neede not the Physician, but they that are sicke.
32 I am not come to call righteous [persons], but sinful [ones] to repentance.
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
33 And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often and make supplications, in like manner those also of the Pharisees, but thine eat and drink?
Then they said vnto him, Why do the disciples of Iohn fast often, and pray, and the disciples of the Pharises also, but thine eate and drinke?
34 And he said to them, Can ye make the sons of the bridechamber fast when the bridegroom is with them?
And he said vnto them, Can ye make the children of the wedding chamber to fast, as long as the bridegrome is with them?
35 But days will come when also the bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then shall they fast in those days.
But the dayes will come, euen when the bridegrome shalbe taken away from them: then shall they fast in those dayes.
36 And he spoke also a parable to them: No one puts a piece of a new garment upon an old garment, otherwise he will both rend the new, and the piece which is from the new will not suit with the old.
Againe he spake also vnto them a parable, No man putteth a piece of a newe garment into an olde vesture: for then the newe renteth it, and the piece taken out of the newe, agreeth not with the olde.
37 And no one puts new wine into old skins, otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;
Also no man powreth newe wine into olde vessels: for then ye new wine wil breake the vessels, and it will runne out, and the vessels will perish:
38 but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved.
But newe wine must be powred into newe vessels: so both are preserued.
39 And no one having drunk old wine [straightway] wishes for new, for he says, The old is better.
Also no man that drinketh olde wine, straightway desireth newe: for he sayth, The olde is more profitable.
