1	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,	As the crowd was pressing in on Jesus to hear God’s word, He was standing by Lake Gennesaret.	And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,	Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the word of God, He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;
2	and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.	He saw two boats at the edge of the lake; the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.	And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.	and He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
3	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, which belonged to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from the land. Then He sat down and was teaching the crowds from the boat.	And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.	And He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little distance from the land. And He sat down and continued teaching the crowds from the boat.
4	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 your nets for a catch.\|”	Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.	Now when He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
5	And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.”	Master,” Simon replied, “we’ve worked hard all night long and caught nothing! But at Your word, I’ll let down the nets.”	And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.	Simon responded and said, “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as You say and let down the nets.”
6	And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking.	When they did this, they caught a great number of fish, and their nets began to tear.	And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.	And when they had done this, they caught a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to tear;
7	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 to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.	And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.	so they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both of the boats, to the point that they were sinking.
8	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, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!”	When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.	But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!”
9	For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken,	For he and all those with him were amazed at the catch of fish they took,	For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:	For amazement had seized him and all his companions because of the catch of fish which they had taken;
10	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, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners. “Don’t be afraid,” Jesus told Simon. “From now on you will be catching people!”	And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.	and likewise also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not fear; from now on you will be catching people.”
11	And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.	Then they brought the boats to land, left everything, and followed Him.	And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.	When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.
12	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 He was in one of the towns, a man was there who had a serious skin disease all over him. He saw Jesus, fell facedown, and begged Him: “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”	And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.	While He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man covered with leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
13	And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him.	Reaching out His hand, He touched him, saying, “I am willing; be made clean,” and immediately the disease left him.	And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.	And He reached out with His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately the leprosy left him.
14	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 He ordered him to tell no one: “But go and show yourself to the priest, and offer what Moses prescribed for your cleansing as a testimony to them.”	And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.	And He ordered him to tell no one, saying, “But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
15	But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities.	But the news about Him spread even more, and large crowds would come together to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.	But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.	But the news about Him was spreading even farther, and large crowds were gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
16	But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.	Yet He often withdrew to deserted places and prayed.	And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.	But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.
17	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.	On one of those days while He was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea, and also from Jerusalem. And the Lord’s power to heal was in Him.	And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.	One day He was teaching, and there were some Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing.
18	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,	Just then some men came, carrying on a mat a man who was paralyzed. They tried to bring him in and set him down before Him.	And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.	And some men were carrying a man on a stretcher who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of Him.
19	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.	Since they could not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on the mat through the roof tiles into the middle of the crowd before Jesus.	And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.	But when they did not find any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus.
20	And when he saw their faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”	Seeing their faith He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven you.”	And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.	And seeing their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven you.”
21	And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”	Then the scribes and the Pharisees began to think: “Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”	And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?	The scribes and the Pharisees began thinking of the implications, saying, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, except God alone?”
22	When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts?	But perceiving their thoughts, Jesus replied to them, “Why are you thinking this in your hearts?	But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?	But Jesus, aware of their thoughts, responded and said to them, “Why are you thinking this way in your hearts?
23	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 you,’ or to say, Get up and walk?	Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?	Which is easier, to say: ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?
24	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 so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins\|—He told the paralyzed man, “I tell you: Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”	But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.	But so 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, get up, and pick up your stretcher, and go home.”
25	And immediately he rose up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went home, glorifying God.	Immediately he got up before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.	And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.	And immediately he got up before them, and picked up what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.
26	And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”	Then everyone was astounded, and they were giving glory to God. And they were filled with awe and said, “We have seen incredible things today!”	And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.	And they were all struck with astonishment and began glorifying God. They were also filled with fear, saying, “We have seen remarkable things today!”
27	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 named Levi sitting at the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me!”	And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.	After that He went out and looked at a tax collector named Levi sitting in the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me.”
28	And leaving everything, he rose and followed him.	So, leaving everything behind, he got up and began to follow Him.	And he left all, rose up, and followed him.	And he left everything behind, and got up and began following Him.
29	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 hosted a grand banquet for Him at his house. Now there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were guests with them.	And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.	And Levi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them.
30	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 their scribes were complaining to His disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”	But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?	The Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling to His disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”
31	And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.	Jesus replied to them, “The healthy don’t need a doctor, but the sick do.	And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.	And Jesus answered and said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.
32	I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”	I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”	I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.	I have not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.”
33	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.”	Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples fast often and say prayers, and those of the Pharisees do the same, but Yours eat and drink.”	And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?	And they said to Him, “The disciples of John often fast and offer prayers, the disciples of the Pharisees also do the same, but Yours eat and drink.”
34	And Jesus said to them, “Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?	Jesus said to them, “You can’t make the wedding guests fast while the groom is with them, can you?	And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?	And Jesus said to them, “You cannot make the attendants of the groom fast while the groom is with them, can you?
35	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 groom will be taken away from them—then they will fast in those days.”	But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.	But the days will come; and when the groom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.”
36	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 also told them a parable: “No one tears a patch from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. Otherwise, not only will he tear the new, but also the piece from the new garment will not match the old.	And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.	And He was also telling them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the patch from the new garment will not match the old.
37	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 puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, it will spill, and the skins will be ruined.	And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.	And no one pours new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined.
38	But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.	But new wine should be put into fresh wineskins.	But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.	But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
39	And no one after drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’”	And no one, after drinking old wine, wants new, because he says, The old is better.’”	No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.	And no one, after drinking old wine wants new; for he says, ‘The old is fine.’”
