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 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 and he saw two ships standing by the lake, but the fishermen, having come down from them, 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 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 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 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 left off speaking, he said unto Simon, 'Put back to 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 answering said to him, 'Master, through the whole night, having laboured, we have taken nothing, but at thy saying I will let down the net.'
6 And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net broke.
And having done this, they enclosed a great 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 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, seeing it, fell 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 astonishment had laid hold on him, and on all those who were with him, at the haul of fishes which they had taken;
for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the draught of the fishes that they took,
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 in like manner also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon; and Jesus said unto Simon, 'Fear not, henceforth thou shalt be catching men;'
11 And having run the ships on shore, leaving all they followed him.
and they, having brought the boats upon the land, having left all, did follow 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 it came to pass, in his being in one of the cities, that lo, a man full of leprosy, and having seen Jesus, having fallen on [his] face, he besought him, saying, 'Sir, if thou mayest will, thou art able to 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 having stretched forth [his] hand, he touched him, having said, 'I will; be thou cleansed;' and immediately the leprosy went away 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, having gone away, shew thyself to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing according as Moses directed, for a testimony to 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 more was the report going abroad concerning him, and great multitudes were coming 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.
and he was withdrawing himself in the desert places and was praying.
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 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 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 lo, men bearing upon a couch a man, who hath been struck with palsy, and they were seeking to bring him in, and to place 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 not having found by what way they may bring him in because of the multitude, having gone up on the house-top, through the tiles they let him down, with the little couch, into the midst before Jesus,
20 And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
and he having seen their faith, said to him, 'Man, thy sins have been 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 the Pharisees began to reason, saying, 'Who is this that doth speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins, except God only?'
22 But Jesus, knowing their reasonings, answering said to them, Why reason ye in your hearts?
And Jesus having known their reasonings, answering, said unto 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?
which is easier — to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee? or to say, Arise, 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.
'And that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority upon the earth to forgive sins — (he said to the one struck with palsy) — I say to thee, Arise, and having taken up thy little couch, be going on to thy house.'
25 And immediately standing up before them, having taken up that whereon he was laid, he departed to his house, glorifying God.
And presently having risen before them, having taken up [that] on which he was lying, he 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 astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying — 'We saw 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 these things he went forth, and beheld a tax-gatherer, by name Levi, sitting at the tax-office, and said to him, 'Be following me;'
28 And having left all, rising up, he followed him.
and he, having left all, having arisen, did follow 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 a great entertainment to him in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax-gatherers and others who were with them reclining (at meat),
30 And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with tax-gatherers and sinners?
and the scribes and the Pharisees among them were murmuring at his disciples, saying, 'Wherefore with tax-gatherers and sinners do ye eat and drink?'
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 answering said unto them, 'They who are well have no need of a physician, but they that are ill:
32 I am not come to call righteous [persons], but sinful [ones] to repentance.
I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'
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, 'Wherefore do the disciples of John fast often, and make supplications — in like manner also those of the Pharisees — but thine do 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, 'Are ye able to make the sons of the bride-chamber — in the bridegroom being with them — to fast?
35 But days will come when also the bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then shall they fast in those days.
but days will come, and, when the bridegroom may be taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.'
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.
And he spake also a simile unto them — 'No one a patch of new clothing doth put on old clothing, and if otherwise, the new also doth make a rent, and with the old the patch doth not agree, that [is] from the new.
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;
'And no one doth put 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 is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved.
but new wine into new skins is to be put, and both are preserved together;
39 And no one having drunk old wine [straightway] wishes for new, for he says, The old is better.
and no one having drunk old [wine], doth immediately wish new, for he saith, The old is better.'
