New King James Version

International Standard Version

1So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,

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

2and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.

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

3Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

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.

4When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

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

5But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.”

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

6And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.

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

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

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.

8When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”

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

9For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;

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

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

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."

11So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.

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

12And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

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."

13Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

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

14And He charged him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded.”

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."

15However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.

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

16So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.

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

17Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

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.

18Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him.

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.

19And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst 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.

20When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

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

21And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

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?"

22But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

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

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

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

24But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” —He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”

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!"

25Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

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.

26And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!”

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

27After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.”

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

28So he left all, rose up, and followed Him.

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

29Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them.

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

30And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, “Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

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

31Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

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

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

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

33Then they said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?”

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."

34And He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?

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

35But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.”

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

36Then He spoke a parable to them: “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old.

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.

37And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined.

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.

38But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

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

39And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”

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