(Luk 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,
(Luk 5:2) And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing {their} nets.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 5:6) And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 5:9) For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
(Luk 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.
(Luk 5:11) And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 5:13) And he put forth {his} hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 5:16) And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 5:20) And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
(Luk 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?
(Luk 5:22) But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
(Luk 5:23) Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
(Luk 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.
(Luk 5:25) And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
(Luk 5:26) And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 5:28) And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 5:30) But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
(Luk 5:31) And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
(Luk 5:32) I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
(Luk 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?
(Luk 5:34) And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
(Luk 5:35) But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 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.
(Luk 5:38) But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
(Luk 5:39) No man also having drunk old {wine} straightway desireth new: for he saith, the old is better.
