Luke 5
1 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,
And it came to pass while the multitude was pressing on him to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And sawe two shippes stand by the lakes side, but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nettes.
that he saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 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.
And he entered one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and requested him to push out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitude from the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he sayd vnto Simon, Lanch out into the deepe, and let downe your nettes to make a draught.
And when he had made an end of speaking, he said to Simon: Push out into the deep water, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 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.
And Simon answered and said to him: Master, we have toiled all night and have caught nothing; but at thy command, I will let down the net.
6 And when they had so done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, so that their net brake.
And when they had done this, they inclosed a great number of fishes, and their net began to break;
7 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.
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 began to sink.
8 Now when Simon Peter saw it, he fel down at Iesus knees, saying, Lord, go from me: for I am a sinfull man.
And when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and said: Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.
9 For he was vtterly astonied, and all that were with him, for the draught of fishes which they tooke.
For amazement at the draught of fishes which they had caught had seized upon him and all that were with him;
10 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.
and in like manner also upon James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: Fear not; from this time forth you shall catch men.
11 And when they had brought the ships to land, they forsooke all, and followed him.
And when they had brought their ships to the land, they left all and followed him.
12 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.
And it came to pass, that he was in one of their cities; and behold, a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and besought him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13 So he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will, be thou cleane. And immediately the leprosie departed from him.
And stretching out his hand, he touched him, and said: I will; be clean. And immediately his leprosy departed from him.
14 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.
And he charged him to tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and make offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, that it may be a testimony to them.
15 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.
But his fame went abroad the more; and many multitudes came together to hear, and to be cured by him of their infirmities.
16 But he kept himselfe apart in the wildernes, and prayed.
And he withdrew to the deserts and prayed.
17 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.
And it came to pass, on a certain day, that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was exerted to heal them.
18 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.
And behold, men brought, on a bed, a man who was a paralytic. And they sought how they might bring him in, and lay him before him.
19 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.
And finding no way by which they could bring him in, because of the multitude, they went up on the top of the house, and, through the tiling, let him down, with his bed, into the midst before Jesus.
20 And when he sawe their faith, he sayd vnto him, Man, thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
And when he saw their faith, he said to him: Man, your sins are forgiven you.
21 Then the Scribes and the Pharises began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? who can forgiue sinnes, but God onely?
And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, saying: Who is this that utters impious words? Who can forgive sins but God alone?
22 But when Iesus perceiued their reasoning, he answered, and sayd vnto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
But Jesus perceived their reasonings, and answered and said to them: Why are you reasoning in your hearts?
23 Whether is easier to say, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee, or to say, Rise and walke?
Which is easier, to say., Your sins are forgiven you; or to say, Arise and walk?
24 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.
But that you may know that the Son of man on the earth has power to forgive sins, (he said to the paralytic, ) I say to you, Arise, and take up your bed, and go to your house.
25 And immediatly he rose vp before them, and tooke vp his bed whereon he lay, and departed to his owne house, praysing God.
And he immediately arose before them, took up that on which he had been lying, and went away to his own house, glorifying God.
26 And they were all amased, and praysed God, and were filled with feare, saying, Doutlesse we haue seene strange things to day.
And astonishment seized upon all, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying: We have seen strange things to-day.
27 And after that, he went foorth and sawe a Publicane named Leui, sitting at the receite of custome, and sayd vnto him, Follow me.
And after these tilings, he went out and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him: Follow me.
28 And he left all, rose vp, and folowed him.
And leaving all, he arose and followed him.
29 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.
And Levi made him a great feast at his own house; and there was a great multitude of publicans and others, who reclined at table with them.
30 But they that were Scribes and Pharises among them, murmured against his disciples, saying, Why eate ye and drinke ye with Publicanes and sinners?
And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying: Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, They that are whole, neede not the Physician, but they that are sicke.
And Jesus answered arid said to them: They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to repentance.
33 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?
And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?
34 And he said vnto them, Can ye make the children of the wedding chamber to fast, as long as the bridegrome is with them?
And he said to them: Can you make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 But the dayes will come, euen when the bridegrome shalbe taken away from them: then shall they fast in those dayes.
But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them; then shall they fast in those days.
36 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.
And he spoke also a parable to them: No one patches an old garment with a piece taken from a new garment. If so, the new tears it, and the patch from the new suits not the old.
37 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:
And no one puts new wine into old bottles; if so, the new wine will burst the bottles, and it will be spilled, and the bottles will be destroyed.
38 But newe wine must be powred into newe vessels: so both are preserued.
But new wine must be put into new bottles, and both will be preserved.
39 Also no man that drinketh olde wine, straightway desireth newe: for he sayth, The olde is more profitable.
And no one, after drinking old wine, immediately desires new; for he says: The old is better.
