On
one
occasion
, while Jesus
was
standing
by
the Lake
of
Gennesaret
with
the
crowd
pressing
in
on Him to
hear
the word of God,
Now
it
happened
, while the multitude
pressed
on him and
heard
the word of God, that
he
was
standing
by
the
lake
of
Gennesaret.
He saw two boats at
the
edge
of
the lake .
The fishermen had left
them and were washing their nets.
He saw two boats standing
by
the lake ,
but
the fishermen had gone
out
of
them ,
and were washing their nets.
Jesus
got
into the boat
belonging
to
Simon
and asked him to put out a little from shore
. And
sitting
down,
He taught the people
from the boat.
He
entered
into one
of
the boats,
which
was
Simon's,
and asked him to put out a little from the
land
. He sat
down
and
taught the multitudes
from the boat.
When Jesus
had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “
Put out into deep water
and let down your nets for a catch. ”
When he
had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "
Put out into the
deep ,
and let down your nets for a catch. "
“Master,”
Simon replied
, “
we have
worked hard
all night without
catching
anything.
But
because
You
say
so
, I will let down the nets
. ”
Simon answered
him
, "Master,
we worked all night, and
took
nothing;
but
at
your
word
I will let down the net
. "
When they had done so
, they caught such
a large
number
of fish that
their nets
began
to
tear
.
When they had done this
, they caught a great
multitude
of fish ,
and
their net
was
breaking
.
So
they signaled
to 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.
They beckoned
to their partners in the other boat ,
that
they
should
come and help them .
They came ,
and filled both boats ,
so that they began to sink.
When
Simon Peter saw
this
, he fell at Jesus ’
knees .
“Go
away
from
me
, Lord
, ”
he
said
, “
for I am a sinful man. ”
But
Simon Peter, when
he saw
it,
fell down
at Jesus '
knees, saying
, "Depart
from
me
, for I am a sinful man ,
Lord
. "
For he and his
companions
were astonished
at the catch of fish they had taken,
For he was
amazed,
and all
who
were with
him,
at the catch of fish which
they had caught;
and so were his
partners
James and John, the
sons of Zebedee .
“Do
not
be
afraid
, ”
Jesus said to Simon. “
From now on you will catch
men
. ”
and so also
were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who
were
partners
with
Simon.
Jesus said to Simon ,
"Don't
be
afraid
. From now on you will be
catching
people
alive
. "
And
when they had brought their boats ashore
, they left everything and followed Him.
When they had brought their boats to
land

and followed him.
While Jesus
was in one of the towns
, a man came
along
who
was
covered
with
leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown
and begged Him, “
Lord, if You are
willing
, You can make me clean. ”
It
happened,
while he
was in one of the cities
, behold,
there
was
a man full
of
leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on
his
face,
and begged him, saying,
"
Lord, if you want
to
, you can make me clean. "
Jesus
reached
out His hand and touched the
man.
“I
am
willing
, ”
He
said
. “
Be clean !”
And
immediately the leprosy left him.
He
stretched
out his hand ,
and touched him
, saying,
"I
want
to
. Be made
clean ."
Immediately the leprosy left him.
“Do
not
tell anyone
, ”
Jesus
instructed
him.
“
But go, show yourself to the priest and present
the
offering
Moses
prescribed
for your cleansing, as
a testimony to them. ”
He
charged
him
to
tell no
one
, "
But go your
way
, and
show yourself to the priest ,
and offer
for your cleansing according
to
what
Moses
commanded
, for
a testimony to them. "
But the news
about
Jesus
spread all
the
more, and great crowds
came to hear Him
and to be healed of their sicknesses
.
But the report
concerning
him
spread much
more, and great multitudes
came together
to hear ,
and to be healed by
him
of their infirmities

withdrew to

to
pray
.

he withdrew himself
into

One day
Jesus
was teaching ,
and the
Pharisees and teachers of the law were
sitting there.
People
had come from
Jerusalem
and
from
every village of Galilee and
Judea, and the power of the Lord was present
for
Him to heal the
sick
.
It
happened
on
one of
those
days,
that
he
was teaching ;
and there
were
Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by,
who
had come out
of
every village of Galilee ,
Judea, and Jerusalem.
The power of the Lord was with
him to heal them
.
Just
then
some
men came
carrying
a paralyzed man on a mat.
They tried
to bring him inside
to set
him
before Jesus ,
Behold,
men brought
a paralyzed man on a cot,
and
they sought
to bring him in
to lay
before Jesus .
but
they
could
not find
a way through
the crowd.
So
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.
Not finding
a way to
bring
him
in
because
of
the multitude,
they went up to
the housetop,
and let
him down
through the tiles with
his
cot
into the midst
before
Jesus.
When
Jesus
saw
their faith, He said, “Friend
, your sins are forgiven. ”
Seeing
their faith, he said to
him
, "Man
, your sins are forgiven you
. "
But
the scribes and Pharisees began thinking
to themselves
, “
Who is this man
who
speaks blasphemy
? Who can forgive sins but God alone? ”
The scribes and the
Pharisees began to reason
, saying,
"
Who is this that
speaks blasphemies
? Who can forgive sins ,
but God alone? "
Knowing
what
they
were
thinking,
Jesus replied
, “
Why are you thinking
these
things
in your hearts?
But
Jesus, perceiving
their
thoughts,
answered
them,
"
Why are you reasoning
so
in your hearts?
Which is easier :
to say, ‘
Your sins are forgiven ,’
or to say, ‘Get
up
and walk? ’
Which is easier to say, '
Your sins are forgiven you;'
or to say, 'Arise
and walk? '
But so
that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the
earth to forgive sins ...”
He said to the paralytic
, “
I tell you, get
up
, pick
up your mat
, and go home
. ”
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins "
(
he said to the paralyzed
man)
, "
I tell you, arise
, and
take
up your cot
, and go to
your
house
. "
And
immediately the
man
stood
up before them, took what
he had
been
lying
on, and went
home
glorifying God.
Immediately he
rose
up before them, and
took up
that
which
he was
laying
on, and departed
to
his
house,
glorifying God.
Everyone
was
taken
with
amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe
and
said
, “
We have seen remarkable
things today. ”
Amazement took
hold
on
all,
and they
glorified God. They were filled with fear
, saying,
"
We have seen strange
things today. "
After this,
Jesus
went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth.
“Follow
Me
, ”
He
told
him,
After these
things
he
went out ,
and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office
, and
said
to
him, "Follow
me!"
and
Levi
got
up,
left everything, and followed Him.
He
left everything, and rose
up
and
followed him.
Then
Levi hosted
a great banquet
for Jesus
at
his house. A large
crowd of tax collectors was
there,
along
with
others who were eating
with them.
Levi made
a great feast
for him
in
his house. There
was
a great
crowd of tax collectors and
others who were reclining
with them.
But
the
Pharisees
and
their scribes complained
to
Jesus’
disciples, “
Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners? ”
Their scribes and
the
Pharisees
murmured
against
his
disciples, saying,
"
Why do you eat and drink with the
tax collectors and sinners? "
Jesus answered, “It
is
not
the
healthy
who need a doctor
, but the
sick.
Jesus answered them
, "Those
who are
healthy
have
no
need for
a physician
, but those
who
are
sick do
.
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners ,
to repentance. ”
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. "
Then
they said to Him, “John’s
disciples and those
of the Pharisees frequently
fast
and
pray
, but Yours keep
on
eating
and drinking.”
They said to him, "Why
do
John's
disciples often
fast
and pray,
likewise
also
the
disciples
of the Pharisees, but yours eat
and drink?"
Jesus
replied
, “
Can you make the guests
of the bridegroom fast while He
is with them?
He
said
to
them
, "
Can you make the friends
of the bridegroom fast ,
while the
bridegroom
is with them?
But the time
will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them ;
then they will fast. ”
But the days
will come when the bridegroom will be taken away
from them .
Then they will fast in
those
days
. "
He also told them
a parable :
“
No one tears
a piece of
cloth
from a new garment and
sews
it
on an old one.
If
he
does
, he will tear the new garment
as
well
, and the patch
from the new will not match the old.
He also told a parable to
them.
"
No one puts
a piece from a new garment on an old garment
, or
else
he will tear the new, and also
the piece
from the new will not match the old.
And
no one pours
new wine into old wineskins .
If
he
does
, the new wine will burst the skins, the
wine
will spill
, and the wineskins
will be ruined
.
No one puts
new wine into old wineskins, or
else
the new wine will burst the skins, and
it
will be
spilled
, and the skins
will be destroyed
.
Instead,
new wine is
poured
into new
wineskins.
But
new wine must
be
put
into fresh
wineskins ,
and
both
are
preserved
.
And
no one
after
drinking
old wine wants
new, for he says, ‘
The old is better. ’”
No man
having
drunk
old wine immediately
desires
new, for he says, '
The old is better. '"
