1 And when the people were pressing on Him to hear the word of God, as He stood by the lake of Gennesareth, seeing two vessels at the edge of the lake, 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 (but the fishermen were gone out of them, and 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 He went into one of them, which was Simon's, and desired him to put off a little way from the shore: and He sat down and taught 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 And when He had done speaking, He said to Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down 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 answered and said unto Him, Master, we have been toiling all the night, and have caught nothing; however at thy word I will cast 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 done this, they inclosed a 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 partners that were in the other ship, to come and help them; and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were even sinking: and when Simon Peter saw it, 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 he fell at the knees of Jesus, saying, Lord, depart from me, for 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 he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of fishes 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 as were also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Be not afraid, from henceforth thou shalt be a captor of 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 their ships to land, they left 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 And when He was in one of the cities of that country, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus, fell prostrate to Him, and besought Him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst 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 Jesus stretched out his hand and 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 charged him to tell no one: but go, said He, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing according 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 But the fame of Him spread more and more, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by 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 frequently retired into solitary places, and prayed. But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray. But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
17 And one day, as He was teaching, there were pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present to heal the people: 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, some men bringing on a couch a man that was paralytic; and they endeavoured to bring him in, and 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 but when they could not find what way to bring him in because of the croud, they went up on the battlements of the house, and let him down from the roof with his couch, into the midst before 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 who seeing their faith said unto 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 cavil, saying, Who is this that talketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God? 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 Jesus knowing their thoughts, answered and said unto them, What are ye disputing 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 easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say, Rise up and walk? 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 the Son of man hath power even on earth to forgive sins, (He spake to the paralytic) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go 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 immediately he rose up before them, took up the bed on which he lay, and went away to his 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 they were all amazed and glorified God, and were filled with awe, saying, we have seen wonderful 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 After these things He went out and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom- house, and 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 he left all, rose up, and followed Him. And leaving everything, he rose and followed him. and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
29 And Levi made Him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great number of publicans, and others 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 And their scribes and pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye 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 answered and said unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I am not come to call the righteous, 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 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 unto Him, Why do the disciples of John frequently fast and pray, and likewise those of the pharisees; but thine 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 unto them, Can ye make those of the bride-chamber 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 shall be taken from them, then they will fast. 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 Then He spake a parable to them, That no one putteth a piece of new cloth upon an old garment: otherwise, the new maketh a rent, and doth not match 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 nor doth any one put new wine in to old vessels; otherwise, the new wine will burst the casks, and be spilled, and the vessels will be destroyed: 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 new wine must be put into new vessels, and then both are saved. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.
39 And no one that has been drinking old wine, immediately desireth new; for he saith, 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.’”
