Young's Literal Translation
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,
And
it
came
to
pass
, in
the multitude
pressing on him to hear the word of God, that
he
was
standing
beside
the
lake
of
Gennesaret,
He saw two boats at
the
edge
of
the lake .
The fishermen
had
left
them and
were washing their
nets .
and
he saw two boats standing
beside
the lake ,
and
the fishers,
having
gone
away
from
them ,
were washing the
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.
and
having
entered
into one
of
the boats,
that
was
Simon's,
he
asked him to put back
a little from the
land,
and having
sat
down, was
teaching
the multitudes
out
of
the boat.
When Jesus
had
finished
speaking, He said to
Simon, “
Put out
into
deep water
and let down your nets for a catch.”
And
when he
left
off
speaking, he said unto
Simon, `
Put back
to
the
deep ,
and let down your nets for a draught;'
“
Master, ”
Simon
replied
, “
we have worked
hard
all
night
without
catching
anything.
But
because
You
say
so
, I will let down the nets
. ”
and
Simon
answering
said
to
him,
`
Master, through
the
whole
night
, having
laboured,
we have taken
nothing
, but
at
thy
saying
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.
And
having
done this
, they enclosed
a great
multitude
of fishes,
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
.
and
they beckoned
to the
partners ,
who
`are'
in the other boat ,
having
come ,
to
help them ;
and they came ,
and filled both the
boats ,
so that they were
sinking
.
When
Simon Peter saw
this
, he
fell at Jesus’
knees .
“Go
away
from
me
, Lord
, ”
he
said
, “for
I am a sinful man .”
And
Simon Peter having
seen
, fell down
at the
knees of
Jesus
, saying
, `Depart
from
me
, because
I am a sinful man ,
O
lord;'
For he
and his
companions
were
astonished
at the catch
of fish
they had
taken
,
for astonishment
seized
him,
and all
those
with
him,
at the draught
of the
fishes
that
they took
,
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 in
like
manner
also
James and John, sons of Zebedee, who
were
partners
with
Simon;
and
Jesus said unto
Simon ,
`Fear
not,
henceforth
thou
shalt
be
catching
men ;'
And when
they had
brought their
boats ashore
, they
left everything
and
followed
Him.
and they ,
having
brought the
boats upon
the
land
, having
left all,
did
follow
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.”
And
it
came
to
pass,
in his
being
in
one of the cities
, that
lo,
a man full
of
leprosy ,
and
having
seen
Jesus, having
fallen
on
`his'
face,
he besought
him, saying
, `Sir,
if thou
mayest
will
, thou
art
able
to
cleanse
me ;'
Jesus
reached
out
His hand and
touched
the
man.
“I
am
willing
, ”
He said .
“
Be clean!”
And immediately the leprosy left
him.
and
having
stretched
forth
`
his '
hand, he touched
him,
having
said ,
`I
will;
be thou
cleansed;'
and immediately the leprosy went
away
from
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 .”
And
he
charged
him
to
tell no
one
, `
But, having
gone
away,
shew
thyself
to the priest ,
and bring
near
for thy
cleansing according
as Moses
directed,
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 more was
the
report
going
abroad
concerning
him
, and great multitudes
were
coming
together
to hear ,
and to be healed by
him
of their infirmities,
Yet
He frequently
withdrew
to
the wilderness
to
pray
.
and
he was
withdrawing
himself
in
the desert
places
and
was
praying
.
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
.
And
it
came
to
pass,
on
one of
the
days,
that
he
was teaching, and there
were
sitting
by
Pharisees and teachers of the Law ,
who
were come out
of
every village of Galilee ,
and Judea, and Jerusalem,
and
the power of the Lord was --
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
,
And
lo,
men bearing
upon
a couch
a man,
who
hath
been
struck
with
palsy,
and
they were
seeking
to bring him in,
and
to place
before him
,
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 .
and
not having
found
by
what
way they may
bring
him
in
because
of
the
multitude,
having
gone
up on the house-top,
through the tiles they
let
him
down,
with
the little
couch
, into
the
midst
before
Jesus ,
When
Jesus
saw
their faith, He
said, “Friend
, your
sins are
forgiven. ”
and
he
having
seen
their faith, said to
him
, `Man
, thy
sins have
been
forgiven thee
. '
But
the scribes and Pharisees began thinking
to themselves
, “
Who is this man
who
speaks
blasphemy
? Who can
forgive sins but
God alone
? ”
And
the scribes and the
Pharisees began to reason
, saying,
`
Who is this that
doth
speak
evil
words
? who is
able
to
forgive sins ,
except
God only
? '
Knowing
what
they
were
thinking,
Jesus replied
, “Why
are
you
thinking
these
things
in your hearts?
And
Jesus having
known
their
reasonings
, answering,
said
unto
them,
`What
reason
ye
in your hearts?
Which is easier :
to say, ‘Your
sins are
forgiven ,’
or to say, ‘Get
up
and walk? ’
which is easier --
to say, Thy
sins have
been
forgiven thee?
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
. ”
`And
that ye
may know that the Son of Man hath
authority upon
the earth to forgive sins --
(
he said to the one
struck
with
palsy)
--
I say
to
thee
, Arise
, and
having
taken
up thy
little
couch
, be
going
on
to
thy
house
. '
And immediately
the
man
stood
up
before them, took
what
he had
been
lying on
, and
went home
glorifying God .
And presently
having
risen
before them, having
taken
up
`that'
on
which
he was
lying, he
went away
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
. ”
and astonishment
took
all,
and
they were glorifying
God,
and
were
filled with fear
, saying
--
`
We saw
strange
things to-day
. '
After this,
Jesus
went out
and saw
a tax collector
named
Levi sitting at the tax booth.
“Follow
Me
, ”
He
told
him,
And
after these
things
he
went forth,
and beheld
a tax -gatherer,
by
name
Levi ,
sitting at the tax -office
, and
said
to
him, `Be
following
me;'
and Levi
got
up
, left everything
, and
followed
Him.
and he
, having
left all
, having
arisen,
did
follow
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 .
And
Levi made
a great entertainment
to
him
in
his house ,
and
there
was
a great
multitude
of tax -gatherers
and
others who were with them reclining
(at
meat),
But
the
Pharisees
and their
scribes complained
to
Jesus’
disciples, “Why
do
you
eat
and
drink
with tax collectors
and sinners? ”
and the
scribes and
the
Pharisees
among
them
were
murmuring
at
his
disciples, saying,
`Wherefore
with tax -gatherers
and sinners do
ye
eat
and
drink
? '
Jesus answered
, “It
is
not
the
healthy
who need a doctor
, but the
sick.
And
Jesus answering
said
unto
them
, `They
who are
well
have
no
need of
a physician
, but they
that
are
ill:
I have
not come
to call the
righteous, but sinners, to repentance
. ”
I came
not to call righteous men
, but sinners, to reformation
. '
Then
they said to
Him, “John’s
disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently
fast
and
pray,
but Yours
keep
on
eating
and drinking.”
And
they said unto
him, `Wherefore
do
the
disciples of
John
fast
often,
and make
supplications
--
in
like
manner
also
those of the Pharisees --
but thine
do
eat
and drink?'
Jesus
replied
, “Can
you
make the guests
of the bridegroom fast
while
He
is
with them?
And
he
said
unto
them
, `Are
ye
able
to
make the sons
of the bride-chamber
--
in
the
bridegroom being
with them --
to
fast
?
But the
time
will come when the bridegroom will
be taken from them ;
then they will
fast. ”
but days
will come ,
and,
when the bridegroom may
be taken away
from them ,
then they shall
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
.
And
he spake
also a simile
unto
them
--
`
No one a patch
of new clothing
doth
put
on old clothing,
and
if otherwise
, the new also
doth
make
a
rent
, and with
the old
the
patch doth
not
agree,
that
`is'
from the new.
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.
`
And no one doth
put
new wine into old skins,
and
if otherwise
, the new wine will burst the skins, and
itself
will be
poured
out
, and the skins
will be destroyed;
Instead,
new wine is
poured
into new wineskins.
but
new wine into new skins
is
to
be
put,
and
both
are
preserved
together;
And no one after
drinking
old wine wants
new, for he says
, ‘
The old is better. ’”
and no one having
drunk
old `
wine ',
doth
immediately
wish
new, for he saith
, The old is better. '
