1 And it came to pass, while the multitude is pressing on Him to hear the word of God, and He was standing 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 He saw two ships standing by the lake: the fishermen, having gone from them, were washing their nets. 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 having come into one of the ships, which belonged to Simon, He asked him to lead out a little from the land, and sitting down He was teaching the multitudes from 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 When He ceased speaking He said to Simon, Lead out into the deep, and spread your nets for 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 responding said to Him, Master, having toiled all night, we caught nothing: but at thy word I will spread 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 having done this, they caught a great multitude of fishes; and their net was breaking; 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 beckoned to their comrades in another ship, having come to assist them, And they came, and filled both ships, so as to sink them. 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 And Simon Peter, seeing, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying; Depart from me, Lord, because I am a sinful 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 fear took hold of him, and all of those with him, at the draught of fishes which they received. 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 likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were companions to Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; from now you shall be catching 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 drawing up their ships to the land, having left all things, they 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 And it came to pass, while He was in one of the cities, and behold, there is a man full of leprosy: and seeing Jesus, having fallen on his face, he prayed to Him, saying, Lord, if you may will it, you are able to cleanse me. 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 reaching out His hand, He touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed. And immediately the leprosy 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 commanded him to tell no one: but having gone away, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto 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 And the word concerning Him was going abroad: and many multitudes continued to come, and be healed of their diseases by Him. 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 was out in the deserts, and praying. But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray. But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
17 And He was in one of the cities, and was teaching; and there were many Pharisees and theologians, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal 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 behold, men carrying a man on a couch, who was paralyzed; and were seeking to bring him in, and place 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 not having found by what way they may bring him in on account of the crowd, going upon the house, they let him down through the tiles along with the bed in their midst in the presence of Jesus. 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 seeing their faith, He said to him; Man, thy sins are forgiven 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 Pharisees began to reason, Who is this one who speaketh blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins, except 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 And having responded He said to them, Why do you reason 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 Which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven unto thee; or, to say. Arise and walk about? 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 in order that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (He said to the paralyzed), I say unto thee, Arise, and having taken thy bed, go into 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 immediately having arisen before them, taking the bed on which he was lying down, he went away to his own house, glorifying 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 rapture seized them all, and they continued to glorify God; and they were filled with fear, saying, that, We have seen the paradoxical this 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 these things He came out, and saw a publican, by name Levi, sitting at the toll, and He said to 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 having left all things, rising up, he followed Him. And leaving everything, he rose and followed him. and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
29 And Levi made a great feast for Him in his own house: and there was a great multitude of publicans and others who were sitting along with Him. 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 And their scribes and the Pharisees were murmuring to His disciples, saying, Wherefore do you eat and drink with publicans 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 Jesus responding said to them, They that are whole have not need of a physician, but they that are sick; 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 And they said to Him, Wherefore do the disciples of John fast, and make supplications; likewise also those of the Pharisees; but thy disciples eat and drink? 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 to them, Whether are you able to make the sons of the bridechamber to fast, while the bridegroom 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 days will come when the bridegroom must indeed be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days. 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 also spoke a parable to them; Let no one put a piece of new cloth on an old garment; lest the new shall tear it, and the piece from the new will not fit the old. 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 one puts new wine into old bottles; lest the new wine shall break the bottles, and it shall be poured out, and the bottles shall 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 the new wine is to be put into new bottles, and both will be preserved. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.
39 No one drinking the old immediately wishes the new; for he says, The old 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.’”
