Siku moja Yesu alipokuwa amesimama karibu na Ziwa la Genesareti, watu wengi wakiwa wanasongana kumzunguka ili wapate kusikia neno la Mungu,

akaona mashua mbili ukingoni mwa ziwa, zikiwa zimeachwa hapo na wavuvi waliokuwa wanaosha nyavu zao.

Akaingia katika mojawapo ya hizo mashua ambayo ilikuwa ya Simoni, akamwomba aisogeze ndani ya maji kidogo kutoka ufuoni. Kisha akaketi na kufundisha watu akiwa mle ndani ya mashua.

Alipomaliza kunena, akamwambia Simoni, “Sasa peleka mashua hadi kilindini kisha mshushe nyavu zenu mkavue samaki.”

Simoni akamjibu, “Bwana, tumefanya kazi ya kuchosha usiku kucha na hatukuvua chochote. Lakini, kwa neno lako nitazishusha nyavu.”

Nao walipozishusha nyavu zao, wakavua samaki wengi sana, nyavu zao zikajaa zikaanza kukatika.

Wakawaashiria wavuvi wenzao kwenye ile mashua nyingine ili waje kuwasaidia. Wakaja, wakajaza mashua zote mbili samaki hata zikaanza kuzama.

Simoni Petro alipoona haya yaliyotukia, alianguka miguuni mwa Yesu na kumwambia, “Bwana, ondoka kwangu. Mimi ni mtu mwenye dhambi!”

Kwa kuwa yeye na wavuvi wenzake walikuwa wameshangazwa sana na wingi wa samaki waliokuwa wamepata.

Vivyo hivyo wenzake Simoni, yaani Yakobo na Yohana, wana wa Zebedayo, walishangazwa pia. Ndipo Yesu akamwambia Simoni, “Usiogope, tangu sasa utakuwa mvuvi wa watu.”

Hivyo wakasogeza mashua zao mpaka ufuoni mwa bahari, wakaacha kila kitu na kumfuata.

Ikawa siku moja Yesu alipokuwa katika mji fulani, mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma mwili mzima akamjia. Alipomwona Yesu, alianguka chini mpaka uso wake ukagusa ardhi, akamsihi akisema, “Bwana, ukitaka, waweza kunitakasa.”

Yesu akanyoosha mkono wake, akamgusa yule mtu, akamwambia, “Nataka. Takasika!” Na mara ukoma wake ukatakasika.

Yesu akamwagiza akisema, “Usimwambie mtu yeyote, bali nenda ukajionyeshe kwa kuhani na ukatoe sadaka alizoagiza Mose kwa utakaso wako, ili kuwa ushuhuda kwao.”

Lakini habari zake Yesu zikazidi sana kuenea kotekote kuliko wakati mwingine wowote. Makutano makubwa ya watu yalikuwa yakikusanyika ili kumsikiliza na kuponywa magonjwa yao.

Lakini mara kwa mara Yesu alijitenga nao ili kwenda mahali pa faragha kuomba.

Siku moja Yesu alipokuwa akifundisha, Mafarisayo na walimu wa sheria, waliokuwa wametoka kila kijiji cha Galilaya na kutoka Uyahudi na Yerusalemu, walikuwa wameketi huko. Nao uweza wa Bwana ulikuwa juu yake kuponya wagonjwa.

Walipokuwa hawawezi kufanya hivyo kwa sababu ya umati wa watu, wakapanda juu ya paa, wakaondoa baadhi ya matofali, wakamteremsha yule mgonjwa kwa mkeka wake hadi katikati ya ule umati pale mbele ya Yesu.

Yesu alipoiona imani yao, akamwambia yule mgonjwa, “Rafiki, dhambi zako zimesamehewa.”

Mafarisayo na wale walimu wa sheria wakaanza kuuliza, “Ni nani mtu huyu anayesema maneno ya kukufuru? Ni nani awezaye kusamehe dhambi isipokuwa Mungu peke yake?”
22 tadA yIzustESAm itthaM cintanaM viditvA tEbhyOkathayad yUyaM manObhiH kutO vitarkayatha?
Yesu akijua mawazo yao akawauliza, “Kwa nini mnawaza hivyo mioyoni mwenu?

Je, ni lipi lililo rahisi zaidi, kumwambia, ‘Umesamehewa dhambi zako,’ au kusema, ‘Inuka, uende’?

Lakini ili mpate kujua kwamba Mwana wa Adamu anayo mamlaka duniani kusamehe dhambi…” Akamwambia yule aliyepooza, “Nakuambia, inuka, chukua mkeka wako, uende nyumbani kwako.”

Mara yule mtu aliyekuwa amepooza akasimama mbele yao wote, akachukua mkeka wake, akaenda zake nyumbani, huku akimtukuza Mungu.

Baada ya haya, Yesu alitoka na kumwona mtoza ushuru mmoja jina lake Lawi akiwa amekaa forodhani, mahali pake pa kutoza ushuru. Akamwambia, “Nifuate.”

Naye Lawi akaacha kila kitu, akaondoka, akamfuata.

Kisha Lawi akamfanyia Yesu karamu kubwa nyumbani kwake, nao umati mkubwa wa watoza ushuru na watu wengine walikuwa wakila pamoja nao.

Lakini Mafarisayo na walimu wa sheria waliokuwa wa dhehebu lao wakawalalamikia wanafunzi wa Yesu, wakisema, “Mbona mnakula na kunywa pamoja na watoza ushuru na ‘wenye dhambi’?”
31 tasmAd yIzustAn pratyavOcad arOgalOkAnAM cikitsakEna prayOjanaM nAsti kintu sarOgANAmEva|

Yesu akawapa mfano huu, akawaambia: “Hakuna mtu achanaye kiraka kutoka kwenye nguo mpya na kukishonea kwenye nguo iliyochakaa. Akifanya hivyo, atakuwa amechana nguo mpya, na kile kiraka hakitalingana na ile nguo iliyochakaa.
