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 enclosed 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 show

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.
