Berean Study Bible

1One day, as the crowd was pressing in on him to listen to God's word, Jesus was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.

1On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God,

2He saw two boats lying on the shore, but the fishermen had stepped out of them and were washing their nets.

2He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3So Jesus got into one of the boats (the one that belonged to Simon) and asked him to push out a little from the shore. Then he sat down and began to teach the crowds from the boat.

3Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.

4When he had finished speaking, he told Simon, "Push out into deep water, and lower your nets for a catch."

4When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simon answered, "Master, we have worked hard all night and caught nothing. But if you say so, I'll lower the nets."

5“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6After the men had done this, they caught so many fish that the nets began to tear.

6When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats until the boats began to sink.

7So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

8When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus' knees and said, "Leave me, Lord! I am a sinful man!"—

8When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9because Simon and all the people who were with him were amazed at the number of fish they had caught,

9For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10and so were James and John, Zebedee's sons and Simon's partners. Then Jesus told Simon, "Stop being afraid. From now on you will be catching people."

10and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”

11So when they brought the boats to shore, they left everything and followed Jesus.

11And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12One day, while Jesus was in one of the cities, a man covered with leprosy saw Jesus and fell on his face, begging him, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."

12While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

13So Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, "I do want to. Be clean!" Instantly the leprosy left him.

13Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Then Jesus ordered him, "Don't tell anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as proof to the authorities."

14“Do not tell anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

15But the news about Jesus spread even more, and many crowds began gathering to hear him and to be healed of their diseases.

15But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16However, he continued his habit of retiring to deserted places and praying.

16Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17One day, as Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and teachers of the Law happened to be sitting nearby. The people had come from every village in Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was present to heal them.

17One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.

18Some men were bringing a paralyzed man on a stretcher. They were trying to take him into the house and place him in front of Jesus.

18Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19When they couldn't find a way to get him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down on his stretcher through the tiles into the middle of the room, right in front of Jesus.

19but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

20When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Mister, your sins are forgiven."

20When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21The scribes and the Pharisees began to argue among themselves, saying, "Who is this man who is uttering blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

21But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Because Jesus knew that they were arguing, he asked them, "Why are you arguing about this among yourselves?

22Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?

23Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’

24But so you'll know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins…." he told the paralyzed man, "I say to you: Get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home!"

24But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

25So the man immediately stood up in front of them and picked up what he had been lying on. Then he went home, praising God.

25And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Amazement seized all the people, and they began to praise God. They were filled with fear and declared, "We have seen wonderful things today!"

26Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27After that, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax collector's desk. He told him, "Follow me!"

27After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28So Levi left everything behind, got up, and followed him.

28and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Later, Levi gave a large banquet at his home for Jesus. A large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them.

29Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.

30The Pharisees and their scribes started complaining to Jesus' disciples, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

30But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31But Jesus answered them, "Healthy people don't need a physician, but sick people do.

31Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32I have not come to call righteous people, but sinners, to repentance."

32I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Then they told him, "John's disciples frequently fast and pray, and so do those of the Pharisees. But your disciples keep right on eating and drinking."

33Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34But Jesus told them, "You can't force the wedding guests to fast while the groom is still with them, can you?

34Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and at that time they will fast."

35But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Then he told them a parable: "No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old garment. If he does, the new cloth will tear, and the piece from the new won't match the old.

36He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.

37And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will make the skins burst, the wine will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined.

37And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined.

38Instead, new wine is to be poured into fresh wineskins.

38Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39No one who has been drinking old wine wants new wine, because he says, 'The old wine is good enough!'"

39And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”
