BLB LUKE Chapter 5

5 And it came to pass, in the crowd pressing on Him also to hear the word of God, and He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 and He saw two boats lying by the lake, but the fishermen, having gone out from them, were washing the nets. 3 And having entered into one of the boats which was Simon's, He asked him to put off a little from the land. And having sat down, He was teaching the crowds from the boat. 4 And when He left off speaking, He said to Simon, "Put off into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." 5 And Simon answering, said, "Master, having toiled through whole night, we have taken nothing; but at Your word, I will let down the nets." 6 And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking. 7 And they beckoned to the partners in the other boat, having come, to help them, and they came and filled both boats, so that they were sinking. 8 And having seen, Simon Peter fell at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, Lord. For I am a sinful man." 9 For amazement laid hold on him, and on all those with him, at the catch of the fish which they had taken, 10 and likewise also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Fear not; from now on you will be catching men." 11 And having brought the boats to the land, having left all, they followed Him. 12 And it came to pass in His being in one of the cities, that behold, a man full of leprosy, and having seen Jesus, having fallen upon his face, begged Him, saying, "Lord, if You would be willing, You are able to cleanse me." 13 And having stretched out the hand, He touched him, saying, "I am willing; be you cleansed!" And immediately the leprosy departed from him. 14 And He ordered him to tell no one: "But having gone, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them." 15 And the report concerning Him was spread abroad still more; and great crowds were coming to hear and to be healed from their sicknesses. 16 And He Himself was withdrawing into the wilderness and praying. 17 And it came to pass on one of the days that He was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were there sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee, and of Judea, and of Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was there for Him to heal. 18 And behold, men carrying upon a mat a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and to place him before Him. 19 And not having found what way they should bring him in, on account of the crowd, having gone up on the housetop, they let him down with the mat through the tiles, into the midst before Jesus. 20 And having seen their faith, He said, "Man, your sins have been forgiven you." 21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins, except God alone?" 22 And Jesus, having known their reasonings, answering, said to them, "Why do you reason in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins have been forgiven you,' or to say, 'Arise and walk?' 24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins..." He said to the one having been paralyzed, "I say to you, arise, and having taken up your mat, go to your house." 25 And immediately having stood up before them, having taken up that on which he was lying, he departed to his home, glorifying God. 26 And amazement seized all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today." 27 And after these things He went forth and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. And He said to him, "Follow Me." 28 And having left all, having arisen, he began to follow Him. 29 And Levi made a great banquet for Him in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax collectors and others, who were reclining with them. 30 And the Pharisees and their scribes were grumbling at His disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?" 31 And Jesus answering, said to them, "Those being well have no need of a physician, but those being sick. 32 I have not come to call righteous ones, but sinners, to repentance." 33 And they said to Him, "The disciples of John fast often and make prayers; likewise also those of the Pharisees; but Yours eat and drink." 34 And Jesus said to them, "Are you able to make the sons of the bridechamber to fast while the bridegroom is with them? 35 But days will come also when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days." 36 And He was speaking also a parable to them: "No one having torn a piece of new a garment, puts it on an old garment; but if otherwise, he will tear the new also, and the old will not match the piece which is of the new. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if now otherwise, the new wine will burst the wineskins, and it will be spilled out, and the wineskins will be destroyed. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39 And no one having drunk old wine desires new; for he says, 'The old is better.'"
