Luke 5 (WEBP)

[1] Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
[2] He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
[3] 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.
[4] When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
[5] Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”
[6] When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
[7] 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.
[8] But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”
[9] For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
[10] 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.”
[11] When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
[12] 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.”
[13] He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
[14] He commanded 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.”
[15] But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
[16] But he withdrew himself into the desert and prayed.
[17] On one of those days, 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.
[18] Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus.
[19] 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 middle before Jesus.
[20] Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
[21] The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”
[22] But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?
[23] Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
[24] 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, take up your cot, and go to your house.”
[25] Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
[26] Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”
[27] After these things he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”
[28] He left everything, and rose up and followed him.
[29] 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.
[30] Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”
[31] Jesus answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
[32] I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
[33] 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?”
[34] He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?
[35] But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.”
[36] 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.
[37] No one puts new wine into old wine skins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled and the skins will be destroyed.
[38] But new wine must be put into fresh wine skins, and both are preserved.
[39] No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”

Luke 5 (KJVS)

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

Young’s Literal Translation

Luke 5 (YLT)

[1] 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,
[2] and he saw two boats standing beside the lake, and the fishers, having gone away from them, were washing the nets,
[3] 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.
[4] And when he left off speaking, he said unto Simon, ‘Put back to the deep, and let down your nets for a draught;’
[5] 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.’
[6] And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net was breaking,
[7] 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.
[8] And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, ‘Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;’
[9] for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the draught of the fishes that they took,
[10] 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;’
[11] and they, having brought the boats upon the land, having left all, did follow him.
[12] 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;’
[13] and having stretched forth his hand, he touched him, having said, ‘I will; be thou cleansed;’ and immediately the leprosy went away from him.
[14] 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;’
[15] 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,
[16] and he was withdrawing himself in the desert places and was praying.
[17] 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.
[18] 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,
[19] 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,
[20] and he having seen their faith, said to him, ‘Man, thy sins have been forgiven thee.’
[21] 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?’
[22] And Jesus having known their reasonings, answering, said unto them, ‘What reason ye in your hearts?
[23] which is easier-to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee? or to say, Arise, and walk?
[24] ‘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.’
[25] And presently having risen before them, having taken up that on which he was lying, he went away to his house, glorifying God,
[26] and astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying-‘We saw strange things to-day.’
[27] 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;’
[28] and he, having left all, having arisen, did follow him.
[29] 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),
[30] 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?’
[31] And Jesus answering said unto them, ‘They who are well have no need of a physician, but they that are ill:
[32] I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.’
[33] 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?’
[34] And he said unto them, ‘Are ye able to make the sons of the bride-chamber-in the bridegroom being with them-to fast?
[35] but days will come, and, when the bridegroom may be taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.’
[36] 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.
[37] ‘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;
[38] but new wine into new skins is to be put, and both are preserved together;
[39] and no one having drunk old wine, doth immediately wish new, for he saith, The old is better.’
