	BISHOPS Bishops' Bible of 1568	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	It came to passe, that when ye people preassed vpon hym, to heare the worde of God, he stoode by the lake of Genezareth,	On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,	One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God.
2	And sawe two shippes stande by the lakes syde: But the fisshermen were gone out of them, and were wasshyng their nettes.	and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.	He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets.
3	And he entred into one of the shippes, which pertayned to Simon, and prayed hym that he woulde thrust out, a litle from the lande: And he sate downe, and taught the people out of the shippe.	Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat.	He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
4	When he had left speakyng, he sayde vnto Simon: Launche out into the deepe, and let slip your nettes, to make a draught.	And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”	When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”
5	And Simon aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: Maister, we haue laboured all nyght, and haue taken nothyng: Neuerthelesse, at thy commaundement I wyll loose foorth the nette.	And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.”	Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”
6	And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fisshes: But their nette brake.	And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking.	When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.
7	And they beckened vnto their felowes, which were in the other shippe, that they shoulde come, and helpe them. And they came, and fylled both the shippes, that they suncke agayne.	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.	So they signaled 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.
8	When Simon Peter sawe this, he fell downe at Iesus knees, saying: Lorde, go from me, for I am a sinfull man.	But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”	When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”
9	For he was vtterly astonyed, and all that were with hym, at the draught of fisshes, which they had taken.	For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken,	For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,
10	And so was also Iames and Iohn the sonnes of Zebedee, whiche were parteners with Simon. And Iesus sayde vnto Simon: Feare not, from hencefoorth thou shalt catch men.	and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”	and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.”
11	And when they had brought vp their boates to the shore, they forsoke all, and folowed hym.	And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.	So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.
12	And it came to passe, that whe he was in a certayne citie: Beholde, there was a man full of leprosie, and when he had spyed Iesus, he fell flat on his face, and besought hym, saying: Lorde, yf thou wylt, thou canst make me cleane.	While he was in one of the cities, there came a man full of leprosy. And when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.”	While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
13	And he stretched foorth his hande, and touched hym, saying: I wyll, be thou cleane. And immediatly the leprosie departed from hym. And he charged hym, that he shoulde tell no man:	And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him.	Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.
14	But go sayth he and shewe thy selfe to the priest, and offer for thy clensyng, accordyng as Moyses commaunded, for a witnesse vnto them.	And he charged him to tell no one, but “go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a proof to them.”	Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
15	But so much the more went there a fame abrode of hym, and much people came together to heare, and to be healed of hym, from their infirmities.	But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities.	Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
16	And he kept hym selfe a part in the wildernesse, and prayed.	But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.	But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
17	And it came to passe, on a certayne day, as he was teachyng, that there were pharisees & doctours of the lawe, sittyng by, which were come out of all the townes of Galilee and Iurie, and Hierusalem: And the power of the Lorde was present, to heale them.	On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal.	One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick.
18	And beholde, men brought in a bed, a man which was taken with a paulsie, and they sought meanes to bryng hym in, and to lay hym before hym.	And behold, some men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus,	Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus.
19	And when they coulde not fynde on what syde they myght bryng hym in, because of the prease, they went vpon the toppe of the house, and let hym downe through the tylyng, bed and all, euen in the myddes before Iesus.	but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.	When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, 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.
20	Whe he sawe their faith, he saide vnto him: Man, thy sinnes are forgeuen thee.	And when he saw their faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”	When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
21	And the scribes and the pharisees, began to thynke, saying: What felowe is this, which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgeue sinnes but God only?	And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”	The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
22	But when Iesus perceaued their thoughtes, he aunswered, & sayde vnto them: What thynke ye in your heartes?	When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts?	Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
23	Whether is easier to say, thy sinnes be forgeuen thee: or to say, ryse vp & walke?	Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?	Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?
24	But that ye may knowe that the sonne of man hath power to forgeue sinnes on earth (he sayde vnto the sicke of the paulsie) I say vnto thee, aryse, take vp thy bed, and go vnto thy house.	But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed— “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.”	But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.”
25	And immediatly he rose vp before them, and toke vp his bed, wheron he lay, and departed to his owne house, praysyng God.	And immediately he rose up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went home, glorifying God.	Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God.
26	And they were all amazed, and they gaue the glory vnto God, and were fylled with feare, saying: Doutlesse we haue seene straunge thynges to day.	And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”	Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”
27	After these thynges, he went foorth, & sawe a publicane named Leui, sittyng at the receipt of custome: and he sayde vnto hym, folowe me.	After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Follow me.”	After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus said to him,
28	And he left all, rose vp, & folowed him.	And leaving everything, he rose and followed him.	and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
29	And Leui made hym a great feast in his owne house. And there was a great companie of publicanes, and of other that sate at meate with them.	And Levi made him a great feast in his house, and there was a large company of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them.	Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them.
30	But they that were scribes and pharisees among them, murmured agaynst his disciples saying: Why do ye eate and drynke with publicanes and sinners?	And the Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”	But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31	And Iesus aunswered, and saide vnto them, They that are whole, neede not the phisition: But they that are sicke.	And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.	Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
32	I came not to call the ryghteous: but sinners to repentaunce.	I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”	I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
33	And they sayde vnto hym: Why do the disciples of Iohn fast often, & pray, and the disciples of the pharisees also: but thyne eate and drynke?	And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink.”	They said to him, “John’s disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking.”
34	He sayde vnto them. Can ye make the chyldren of the weddyng chaumber fast, whyle the brydegrome in with the?	And Jesus said to them, “Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?	Jesus answered, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while he is with them?
35	But the dayes wyll come, when the brydegrome also shalbe taken away fro them: then shall they fast in those dayes.	The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.”	But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; in those days they will fast.”
36	He spake also vnto them a similitude. No man putteth a peece of a newe garment, into an olde vesture: For then the newe renteth the olde, and the peece that was taken out of the newe, agreeth not with the olde.	He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. If he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.	He told them this parable: “No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old.
37	And no man powreth newe wyne into olde vessels: For yf he do, the newe wyne wyll burst the vessels, and runne out it selfe, and the vessels shall perishe.	And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.	And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined.
38	But newe wine must be put into newe vessels, and both are preserued.	But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.	No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.
39	No man also that drinketh olde wyne, strayghtway can awaye with newe: For he sayth, the olde is better.	And no one after drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’”	And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’”
