Luke 5
5So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,G1161G1096G1722G3793G1945G846G191G3056G2316G2532G846G2258G2476G3844G3041G10822and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.G2532G1492G1417G4143G2476G3844G3041G1161G231G576G575G846G637G13503Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.G1161G1684G1519G1520G4143G3739G2258G4613G2065G846G1877G3641G575G1093G2532G2523G1321G3793G1537G41434When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."G1161G5613G3973G2980G2036G4314G4613G1877G1519G899G2532G5465G5216G1350G1519G615But Simon answered and said to Him, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net."G2532G4613G611G2036G846G1988G2872G3650G1223G3571G2983G3762G1161G1909G4675G4487G5465G13506And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.G2532G4160G5124G4160G4788G4183G4128G2486G1161G846G1350G12847So 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.G2532G2656G3353G3588G1722G2087G4143G2064G4815G846G2532G2064G2532G4130G297G4143G5620G846G10368When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!"G1161G4613G4074G1492G4363G2424G1119G3004G1831G575G1700G3754G1510G268G435G29629For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;G1063G846G4023G2285G2532G3956G4862G846G1909G61G2486G3739G481510and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men."G1161G3668G2532G2385G2532G2491G5207G2199G3739G2258G2844G4613G2532G2424G2036G4314G4613G5399G3361G575G3568G2071G2221G44411So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.G2532G2609G4143G1909G1093G863G537G190G84612And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."G2532G1096G846G1511G1722G1722G3391G4172G2532G2400G435G4134G3014G2532G1492G2424G4098G1909G4383G1189G846G3004G2962G1437G2309G1410G2511G3165G251113Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately the leprosy left him.G2532G1614G5495G680G846G2036G2309G2511G2532G2112G3014G565G575G84614And He charged him to tell no one, "But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded."G2532G846G3853G846G2036G3367G235G565G1166G4572G2409G2532G4374G4012G4675G2512G2531G3475G4367G1519G3142G84615However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.G1161G3123G1330G3056G1330G4012G846G2532G4183G3793G4905G191G2532G2323G5259G846G575G846G76916So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.G1161G2258G5298G846G1722G2048G2532G433617Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.G2532G1096G1722G3391G2250G2532G846G2258G1321G2532G2258G5330G2532G3547G2521G3739G2258G2064G1537G3956G2968G1056G2532G2449G2532G2419G2532G1411G2962G2258G1519G2390G84618Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him.G2532G2400G435G5342G1909G2825G444G3739G2258G3886G2532G2212G1533G846G1533G2532G5087G1799G84619And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.G2532G2147G3361G2147G1223G4169G1533G846G1533G1223G3793G305G1909G1430G2524G846G2524G1223G2766G4862G2826G1519G3319G1715G242420When He saw their faith, He said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven you."G2532G1492G846G4102G2036G846G444G4675G266G863G467121And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"G2532G1122G2532G5330G756G1260G3004G5101G2076G3778G3739G2980G988G5101G1410G863G266G1508G2316G344122But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, "Why are you reasoning in your hearts?G1161G2424G1921G846G1261G611G2036G4314G846G5101G1260G1722G5216G258823"Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Rise up and walk'?G5101G2076G2123G2036G4675G266G863G4671G2228G2036G1453G2532G404324"But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"—He said to the man who was paralyzed, "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house."G1161G2443G1492G3754G5207G444G2192G1849G1909G1093G863G266G2036G3886G3004G4671G1453G2532G142G4675G2826G4198G1519G4675G362425Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.G2532G3916G450G1799G846G142G1909G3739G2621G565G1519G846G3624G1392G231626And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today!"G2532G2983G537G1611G2532G1392G2316G2532G4130G5401G3004G3754G1492G3861G459427After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow Me."G2532G3326G5023G1831G2532G2300G5057G3686G3018G2521G1909G5058G2532G2036G846G190G342728So he left all, rose up, and followed Him.G2532G2641G537G450G190G84629Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them.G2532G3018G4160G846G3173G1403G1722G846G3614G2532G2258G4183G3793G5057G2532G243G3739G2258G2621G3326G84630And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, "Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"G2532G846G1122G2532G5330G1111G4314G846G3101G3004G1302G2068G2532G4095G3326G5057G2532G26831Jesus answered and said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.G2532G2424G611G2036G4314G846G5198G5532G2192G3756G2395G235G2192G256032"I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."G2064G3756G2564G1342G235G268G1519G334133Then they said to Him, "Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?"G1161G2036G4314G846G1302G3522G3101G2491G3522G4437G2532G4160G1162G2532G3668G3588G5330G1161G4674G2068G2532G409534And He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?G1161G2036G4314G846G3361G1410G4160G5207G3567G3522G3739G1722G3566G2076G3326G84635"But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days."G1161G2250G2064G3752G2532G3566G522G575G846G5119G3522G1722G1565G225036Then He spoke a parable to them: "No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old.G1161G3004G2532G3850G4314G846G3754G3762G1911G1915G2537G2440G1909G2440G3820G1490G2532G2537G4977G2532G1915G575G2537G4856G3756G382037"And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined.G2532G3762G906G3501G3631G1519G3820G779G1490G3501G3631G4486G779G2532G846G1632G2532G779G62238"But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.G235G3501G3631G992G1519G2537G779G2532G297G493339"And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, 'The old is better.'"G3762G2532G4095G3820G2112G2309G3501G1063G3004G3820G2076G5543
