| 5:1 |
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,
|
| 5:2 |
And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing [their] nets.
|
| 5:3 |
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.
|
| 5:4 |
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
|
| 5:5 |
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.
|
| 5:6 |
And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
|
| 5:7 |
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.
|
| 5:8 |
When Simon Peter saw [it], he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
|
| 5:9 |
For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
|
| 5:10 |
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.
|
| 5:11 |
And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
|
| 5:12 |
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.
|
| 5:13 |
And he put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
|
| 5:14 |
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.
|
| 5:15 |
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.
|
| 5:16 |
And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
|
| 5:17 |
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.
|
| 5:18 |
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.
|
| 5:19 |
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.
|
| 5:20 |
And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
|
| 5:21 |
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
|
| 5:22 |
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
|
| 5:23 |
Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
|
| 5:24 |
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.
|
| 5:25 |
And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
|
| 5:26 |
And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
|
| 5:27 |
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.
|
| 5:28 |
And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
|
| 5:29 |
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.
|
| 5:30 |
But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
|
| 5:31 |
And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
|
| 5:32 |
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
|
| 5:33 |
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?
|
| 5:34 |
And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
|
| 5:35 |
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
|
| 5:36 |
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.
|
| 5:37 |
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.
|
| 5:38 |
But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
|
| 5:39 |
No man also having drunk old [wine] straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
