Luke 5
1 It came to pass then in the crowd pressing on Him (also *N+KO) to hear the word of God and He himself was already standing by the lake of Gennesaret
One day while many people were crowding around him to hear the message from God, Jesus was standing on the shore of Gennesaret Lake, [which is also called Lake Galilee].
2 and He saw two boats already lying by the lake. but the fishermen from them having gone out (were washing *N+kO) the nets.
He saw two [fishing] boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of the boats and were washing their [fishing] nets [on the shore]. One of the boats belonged to Simon.
3 Having climbed then into one of the boats which was (of the *k) Simon’s, He asked him from the land to put off a little. (and *ko) Having sat down (then *no) from the boat He was teaching the crowds.
Jesus got in that boat and asked Simon to push the boat a little bit away from the shore [so that he could speak to the crowd more easily. Jesus] sat in the boat and taught the people [who were on the shore].
4 When then He left off speaking He said to Simon; do put off into the deep and do lower the nets of you for a catch.
After he finished speaking [to them], he said to Simon, “Push the boat out to where the water is deep. Then let your nets down [into the water] to catch [some fish]!”
5 And answering Simon said (to him: *ko) Master, through whole night having toiled no [thing] have we taken, at however the declaration of You I will let down (the *N+kO) (nets. *N+KO)
Simon replied, “Master, we [(exc)] worked hard all night but we did not catch any [fish]. But because you [(sg)] tell me to do it, I will let down the nets.”
6 And this having done they enclosed a multitude of fishes great; were breaking now (the *N+kO) (nets *N+KO) of them.
When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
7 And they beckoned to the partners (to the *k) in the other boat having come to help them. and they came and filled both the boats so that [were] sinking they.
They motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. So they came and filled both the boats [with fish from the net]. The result was that the boats were so full that they began to sink.
8 Having seen now Simon Peter fell at the knees of Jesus saying; do depart from me, for a man sinful am I, Lord.
Simon and all the men who were with him were amazed at how many fish they had taken. James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners, were among those who were amazed. When Simon, [whose other name was] Peter, saw [the fish, feeling ashamed to be in the presence of someone who obviously had God’s power], he prostrated himself before Jesus and said, “Lord, you should go away from me, because I am a sinful man!”
9 Amazement for laid hold on him and on all those with him at the catch of the fish (which *N+kO) they had taken,
10 likewise now also James and John [the] sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And said to Simon Jesus; Not do fear; from now on men you will be catching.
But Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! [Up until now you(sg) have been gathering fish] [MET], but from now on you will gather people [to become my disciples].”
11 And having brought the boats to the land, having left (all [things] *N+kO) they followed Him.
So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
12 And it came to pass in being Him in one of the cities that behold a man full of leprosy; (and *ko) having seen (then *no) Jesus, having fallen upon [his] face begged Him saying; Lord, if You shall be willing, You are able me to cleanse.
While [Jesus] was in one of the cities [there in the district of Galilee], there was a man there who was very severely affected by leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself before him and, [wanting Jesus to heal him], pleaded with him, “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because] you are able to heal me if you are willing to!”
13 And having stretched out the hand He touched him (saying; *N+kO) I am willing, do be cleansed. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
[Then Jesus, disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], reached out his hand and touched the man. He said, “I am willing [to heal you]; and I heal you now!” Immediately the man [was healed]. He was no longer a leper [PRS]!
14 And He himself ordered him no one to tell But having gone do show yourself to the priest and do offer for the cleansing of you even as commanded Moses for a testimony to them.
Then Jesus told him, “Make sure that you do not report [your healing immediately. First, go to a priest in Jerusalem] and show yourself to him [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. After the priest tells [the local people], they will know that [you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Also take to the priest [the offering] that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer].”
15 Was spread abroad now still more the report concerning Him; and were coming crowds great to hear and to be healed (by him *K) from the sicknesses of them;
But many people heard the man’s report of what [Jesus had done]. The result was that large crowds came to Jesus to hear his [message] and to be healed of their sicknesses {so that he would heal their sicknesses}.
16 He Himself now was withdrawing into the wilderness and praying.
But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
17 And it came to pass on one of the days that He himself was teaching; and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the law who were already coming out of every village of Galilee and of Judea and of Jerusalem, And [the] power of [the] Lord was with to heal (Him. *N+KO)
One day when [Jesus] was teaching, some men from the Pharisee [sect] were sitting there. Some of them were men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They had come from many [HYP] villages in Galilee [district] and also from Jerusalem and from [other] villages in Judea [district]. [At that time while] God was giving Jesus power to heal people,
18 And behold men carrying upon a mat a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking him to bring in and to place him before Him.
several men brought on a sleeping pad a man who was paralyzed. They wanted to bring him into [the house] and lay him in front of Jesus.
19 And not having found (through *k) what way they may bring in him on account of the crowd, having gone up on the housetop through the tiles they let down him with the mat into the midst before Jesus.
But there was no way to do that because of the large crowd of people, so they went up [the steps] onto the roof. They tied ropes onto the sleeping pad and, after [removing some of] the tiles on the roof, they lowered the man [on] the sleeping pad. They lowered him through the opening into the midst of the crowd in front of Jesus.
20 And having seen the faith of them He said (to him: *k) Man, have been forgiven you the sins of you.
When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
21 And began to reason the scribes and the Pharisees saying; Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able sins (to forgive *N+kO) only except [the] sole God?
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the rest of the Pharisees began to think within themselves, “Who does this man [think he is, saying] that? He is insulting God! (Nobody can forgive sins!/What person can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can do that!”
22 Having known now Jesus the reasonings of them answering He said to them; Why reason you in the hearts of you?
Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he said to them, “(You should not think that way [about what I said]!/Why do you question within yourselves [about what I said]?) [RHQ] [Consider this]:
23 Which is easier, to say; Have been forgiven you the sins of you, or to say; (do arise *N+kO) and do walk?
It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins,’ [because no one could see whether or not his sins were really forgiven. But no one] [RHQ], [without having the power to heal], would say to [him], ‘Get up and walk!’ [because people could easily see whether he was healed or not].
24 That however you may know that the Son of Man authority has on the earth to forgive sins, He said to the [one] paralyzed; To you I say, (do arise *N+kO) and having taken up the mat of you, do go to the house of you.
But [as a result of my healing this man] you [(pl)] will know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am on] the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the man who was paralyzed, “To you I say, ‘Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!’”
25 And immediately having stood up before them, having taken up [that] on (which *N+kO) he was lying, he departed to the home of him glorifying God.
Immediately the man [was healed]. He stood up in front of them. He picked up the [sleeping pad] on which he had been lying, and went home, praising God.
26 And amazement seized all, and they were glorifying God and were filled with fear saying that We have seen remarkable things today.
All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
27 And after these things He went forth and He saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth and He said to him; do follow Me.
Then [Jesus] left [the town] and saw a man who collected taxes [for the Roman government]. His name was Levi. He was sitting in the booth where he collected the taxes. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!”
28 And having left (all [things] *N+kO) having arisen (he was following *N+kO) Him.
So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
29 And made a banquet great Levi for Him in the house of him, and there was a multitude great of tax collectors and others who were with them reclining.
Afterwards, Levi prepared a big feast in his own house [for Jesus and his disciples]. There was a large group of tax collectors and others eating together with them.
30 And were grumbling the Pharisees and the scribes of them at the disciples of Him saying; Because of why with the tax collectors and sinners do you eat and drink?
The men who were there who taught the [Jewish] laws, ones who belonged to the Pharisee [sect], complained to Jesus’ disciples, saying, “([It is disgusting that] you are eating with tax collectors and [others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners!/Why are you eating with tax collectors [and others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners?)” [RHQ]
31 And answering Jesus said to them; No need have those being well of a physician but those sick being.
Then, [to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him for help], Jesus said to them, “[It is] people who are sick who need a doctor, not those who are well [MET].
32 Not I have come to call righteous [ones] but sinners to repentance.
[Similarly], I did not come [from heaven] to invite [those who think they are] righteous [to come to me]. On the contrary, [I came to invite those who know that they are] sinners to turn from their sinful behavior [and come to me].”
33 And they said to Him; (through why *KO) The disciples of John fast often and prayers make, likewise also those of the Pharisees, those however of You eat and drink.
[Those Jewish leaders] said to Jesus, “The disciples of John [the Baptizer] often abstain from food [to show that they want to please God], and the disciples of the Pharisees do that, too. But your disciples keep on eating and drinking! [Why do not they fast like the others]?”
34 And (Jesus *no) said to them; Not are you able the sons of the bridechamber in which [time] the bridegroom with them is, to make (to fast? *N+kO)
[To show them that it was not appropriate for his disciples to be sad and abstain from food while he was still with them] [MET], Jesus said to them, “When (the bridegroom/man who is getting married) is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], you certainly do not make his friends abstain from food, do you [RHQ]? [No, you do not do that].
35 Will come however days also when may be taken away from them the bridegroom, then they will fast in those days.
[But] some day he will be taken away {[his enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, at that time, his friends will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
36 He was speaking now also a parable to them that No [one] a piece (of *no) a garment new (having torn *NO) puts [it] on a garment old; lest then except indeed also the new (will tear, *N+kO) and to the old not (it will match *N+kO) (the *no) piece of the new.
Then Jesus told them two parables [to show them that those who desire to live according to God’s new message should not be forced to obey the old religious traditions like] ([fasting/abstaining from food]), [and that those who know only the old traditions are not eager to accept new ones] [MET]. He said, “People never tear a piece of cloth from a new garment and attach it to an old garment [to mend it]. If they did that, not only would they be ruining the new garment by tearing it, but the new piece of cloth would not match the old garment.
37 And no [one] puts wine new into wineskins old; lest then except indeed will burst the wine new the wineskins and it will be spilled out, and the wineskins will be destroyed;
Neither does anyone put freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, the grape juice would burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the] new [wine ferments and expands. Then] the skin bags would be ruined, and [the wine] would [also] be spilled.
38 But wine new into wineskins fresh must be put (and both are preserved. *KO)
On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
39 And no [one] having drunk old [wine] (immediately *K) desires new, he says for; The old (good *N+kO) is.
Furthermore, those who have drunk [only] old wine [are content with that]. They do not want to drink the new wine, because they say, ‘The old wine is [MET] fine!’”
