	GENEVA Geneva Bible of 1587	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	Then it came to passe, as the people preassed vpon him to heare the word of God, that he stoode by the lake of Gennesaret,	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 stand by the lakes side, but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing 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 ships, which was Simons, & required him that he would thrust off a litle from the land: and he sate downe, and taught the people out of the ship.	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	Now when he had left speaking, he sayd vnto Simon, Lanch out into the deepe, and let downe 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	Then Simon answered, and sayd vnto him, Master, we haue trauailed sore all night, & haue taken nothing: neuerthelesse at thy worde I will let downe the net.	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 so done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, so that their net 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 to their parteners, which were in the other ship, that they shoulde come and helpe them, who came then, and filled both the ships, that they did sinke.	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	Now when Simon Peter saw it, he fel down at Iesus knees, saying, Lord, 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 astonied, and all that were with him, for the draught of fishes which they tooke.	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 & Iohn the sonnes of Zebedeus, which were companions with Simon. Then Iesus sayde vnto Simon, Feare not: from henceforth 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 the ships to land, they forsooke all, and followed him.	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	Nowe it came to passe, as he was in a certaine citie, beholde, there was a man full of leprosie, and when he sawe Iesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, 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	So he stretched forth his hand, & touched him, saying, I will, be thou cleane; immediately the leprosie departed from him.	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	And he commaunded him that hee should tell it no man: but Go, sayth he, and shew thy selfe to the Priest, and offer for thy clensing, as Moses hath commanded, for a witnes 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 more went there a fame abroad of him, and great multitudes came together to heare, and to be healed of him of 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	But he kept himselfe apart in the wildernes, 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 certaine day, as he was teaching, that the Pharises & doctours of the Law sate by, which were come out of euery towne of Galile, & Iudea, and Hierusalem, & the power of the Lord was in him 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	Then beholde, men brought a man lying in a bed, which was taken with a palsie, and they sought meanes to bring him in, and to lay him before him.	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 could not finde by what way they might bring him in, because of the preasse, they went vp on the house, and let him downe through the tyling, bed and all, in the middes 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	And when he sawe their faith, he sayd vnto him, Man, thy sinnes are forgiuen 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	Then the Scribes & the Pharises began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? who can forgiue sinnes, but God onely?	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 perceiued their reasoning, he answered, and sayd vnto them, What reason ye in your hearts?	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 are forgiuen thee, or to say, Rise and 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 know that that Sonne of man hath authoritie to forgiue sinnes in earth, (he sayd vnto the sicke of the palsie) I say to thee, Arise: take vp thy bed, and goe to thine 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 tooke vp his bed whereon he lay, and departed to his owne house, praysing 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 amased, & praysed God, and were filled with feare, saying, Doutlesse we haue seene strange things 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	And after that, he went foorth and sawe a Publicane named Leui, sitting at the receite of custome, and sayd vnto him, Follow 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, and folowed him.	And leaving everything, he rose and followed him.	and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
29	Then Leui made him a great feast in his owne house, where there was a great company of Publicanes, and of other that sate at table 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 Pharises among them, murmured against his disciples, saying, Why eate ye and drinke ye 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	Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, They that are whole, neede not the Physician, 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 righteous, but sinners to repentance.	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	Then they said vnto him, Why do the disciples of Iohn fast often, & pray, & the disciples of the Pharises also, but thine eate and drinke?	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	And he said vnto them, Can ye make the children of the wedding chamber to fast, as long as the bridegrome is with them?	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 will come, euen when the bridegrome shalbe taken away from 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	Againe he spake also vnto them a parable, No man putteth a piece of a newe garment into an olde vesture: for then the newe renteth it, and the piece 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	Also no man powreth newe wine into olde vessels: for then ye new wine wil breake the vessels, and it will runne out, and the vessels will perish:	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 powred into newe vessels: so both are preserued.	But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.	No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.
39	Also no man that drinketh olde wine, straightway desireth newe: for he sayth, The olde is more profitable.	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.’”
