Luke 5
1 And it came to pass, while the multitude is pressing on Him to hear the word of God, and He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;
Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
2 and He saw two ships standing by the lake: the fishermen, having gone from them, were washing their nets.
He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3 And having come into one of the ships, which belonged to Simon, He asked him to lead out a little from the land, and sitting down He was teaching the multitudes from the ship.
He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
4 When He ceased speaking He said to Simon, Lead out into the deep, and spread your nets for a draught.
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 And Simon responding said to Him, Master, having toiled all night, we caught nothing: but at thy word I will spread the net.
Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”
6 And having done this, they caught a great multitude of fishes; and their net was breaking;
When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
7 and they beckoned to their comrades in another ship, having come to assist them, And they came, and filled both ships, so as to sink them.
They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
8 And Simon Peter, seeing, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying; Depart from me, Lord, because I am a sinful man,
But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Yeshua’s knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”
9 For fear took hold of him, and all of those with him, at the draught of fishes which they received.
For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
10 And likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were companions to Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; from now you shall be catching men.
and so also were Jacob and Yochanan, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Yeshua said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”
11 And drawing up their ships to the land, having left all things, they followed Him.
When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
12 And it came to pass, while He was in one of the cities, and behold, there is a man full of leprosy: and seeing Jesus, having fallen on his face, he prayed to Him, saying, Lord, if you may will it, you are able to cleanse me.
While he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Yeshua, he fell on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
13 And reaching out His hand, He touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
14 And He commanded him to tell no one: but having gone away, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
15 And the word concerning Him was going abroad: and many multitudes continued to come, and be healed of their diseases by Him.
But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 And He was out in the deserts, and praying.
But he withdrew himself into the desert and prayed.
17 And He was in one of the cities, and was teaching; and there were many Pharisees and theologians, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
On one of those days, he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the Torah sitting by who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal them.
18 And behold, men carrying a man on a couch, who was paralyzed; and were seeking to bring him in, and place him before Him.
Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Yeshua.
19 And not having found by what way they may bring him in on account of the crowd, going upon the house, they let him down through the tiles along with the bed in their midst in the presence of Jesus.
Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the middle before Yeshua.
20 And seeing their faith, He said to him; Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
21 And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, Who is this one who speaketh blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins, except God only?
The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”
22 And having responded He said to them, Why do you reason in your hearts?
But Yeshua, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?
23 Which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven unto thee; or, to say. Arise and walk about?
Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
24 But in order that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (He said to the paralyzed), I say unto thee, Arise, and having taken thy bed, go into thy house.
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, arise, take up your cot, and go to your house.”
25 And immediately having arisen before them, taking the bed on which he was lying down, he went away to his own house, glorifying God.
Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
26 And rapture seized them all, and they continued to glorify God; and they were filled with fear, saying, that, We have seen the paradoxical this day.
Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”
27 And after these things He came out, and saw a publican, by name Levi, sitting at the toll, and He said to him, Follow me.
After these things he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”
28 And having left all things, rising up, he followed Him.
He left everything, and rose up and followed him.
29 And Levi made a great feast for Him in his own house: and there was a great multitude of publicans and others who were sitting along with Him.
Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.
30 And their scribes and the Pharisees were murmuring to His disciples, saying, Wherefore do you eat and drink with publicans and, sinners?
Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”
31 And Jesus responding said to them, They that are whole have not need of a physician, but they that are sick;
Yeshua answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
33 And they said to Him, Wherefore do the disciples of John fast, and make supplications; likewise also those of the Pharisees; but thy disciples eat and drink?
They said to him, “Why do Yochanan’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?”
34 And He said to them, Whether are you able to make the sons of the bridechamber to fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?
35 But the days will come when the bridegroom must indeed be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days.
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.”
36 He also spoke a parable to them; Let no one put a piece of new cloth on an old garment; lest the new shall tear it, and the piece from the new will not fit the old.
He also told a parable to them. “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match the old.
37 And no one puts new wine into old bottles; lest the new wine shall break the bottles, and it shall be poured out, and the bottles shall perish:
No one puts new wine into old wine skins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled and the skins will be destroyed.
38 but the new wine is to be put into new bottles, and both will be preserved.
But new wine must be put into fresh wine skins, and both are preserved.
39 No one drinking the old immediately wishes the new; for he says, The old is better.
No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
