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:
And when the people were pressing on Him to hear the word of God, as He stood by the lake of Gennesareth, seeing two vessels at the edge of the lake,
2 and he saw two ships standing by the lake, but the fishermen, having come down from them, were washing their nets.
(but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets: )
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.
He went into one of them, which was Simon's, and desired him to put off a little way from the shore: and He sat down and taught the multitudes from 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.
And when He had done speaking, He said to Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for 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.
And Simon answered and said unto Him, Master, we have been toiling all the night, and have caught nothing; however at thy word I will cast the net.
6 And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net broke.
And when they had done this, they inclosed a multitude of fishes; and their net was breaking.
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 beckoned to their partners that were in the other ship, to come and help them; and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were even sinking: and when Simon Peter saw it,
8 But Simon Peter, seeing it, fell at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.
he fell at the knees of Jesus, saying, Lord, depart from me, for I am a sinful 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 astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had taken;
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.
as were also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Be not afraid, from henceforth thou shalt be a captor of men.
11 And having run the ships on shore, leaving all they followed him.
And when they had brought their ships to land, they left 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.
And when He was in one of the cities of that country, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus, fell prostrate to Him, and besought Him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me.
13 And stretching forth his hand he touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed: and immediately the leprosy departed from him.
And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed: and immediately the leprosy 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 charged him to tell no one: but go, said He, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto 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 the fame of Him spread more and more, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.
16 And he withdrew himself, and was about in the desert [places] and praying.
But He frequently retired into solitary places, 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 one day, as He was teaching, there were pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present to heal the people:
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.
and behold, some men bringing on a couch a man that was paralytic; and they endeavoured to bring him in, and 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.
but when they could not find what way to bring him in because of the croud, they went up on the battlements of the house, and let him down from the roof with his couch, into the midst before Jesus,
20 And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
who seeing their faith said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven 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?
And the scribes and pharisees began to cavil, saying, Who is this that talketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God?
22 But Jesus, knowing their reasonings, answering said to them, Why reason ye in your hearts?
but Jesus knowing their thoughts, answered and said unto them, What are ye disputing in your hearts?
23 which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say, Rise up and walk?
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 the Son of man hath power even on earth to forgive sins, (He spake to the paralytic) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go 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 immediately he rose up before them, took up the bed on which he lay, and went away to his house, glorifying 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 amazed and glorified God, and were filled with awe, saying, we have seen wonderful 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.
After these things He went out and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom-house, and said to him, Follow me:
28 And having left all, rising up, he followed him.
and he left all, rose up, and followed 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.
And Levi made Him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great number of publicans, and others 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?
And their scribes and pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans 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.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I am not come to call the righteous,
32 I am not come to call righteous [persons], but sinful [ones] to repentance.
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?
And they said unto Him, Why do the disciples of John frequently fast and pray, and likewise those of the pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
34 And he said to them, Can ye make the sons of the bridechamber fast when the bridegroom is with them?
And He said unto them, Can ye make those of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom 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 days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, then they will fast.
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.
Then He spake a parable to them, That no one putteth a piece of new cloth upon an old garment: otherwise, the new maketh a rent, and doth not match the old:
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;
nor doth any one put new wine in to old vessels; otherwise, the new wine will burst the casks, and be spilled, and the vessels will be destroyed:
38 but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved.
but new wine must be put into new vessels, and then both are saved.
39 And no one having drunk old wine [straightway] wishes for new, for he says, The old is better.
And no one that has been drinking old wine, immediately desireth new; for he saith, the old is better.
