Lukas 5

1And it came to pass, that when the multitudes pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Genesareth,

2And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

3And going into one of the ships that was Simon’s, he desired him to draw back a little from the land. And sitting he taught the multitudes out of the ship.

4Now when he had ceased to speak, he said to Simon: Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

5And Simon answering said to him: Master, we have labored all the night, and have taken nothing: but at thy word I will let down the net.

6And when they had done this, they enclosed a very great multitude of fishes, and their net broke.

7And they beckoned to their partners that were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were almost sinking.

8Which when Simon Peter saw, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying: Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

9For he was wholly astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken.

10And so were also James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners. And Jesus saith to Simon: Fear not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

11And having brought their ships to land, leaving all things, they followed him.

12And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy, who seeing Jesus, and falling on his face, besought him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

13And stretching forth his hand, he touched him, saying: I will. Be thou cleansed. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

14And he charged him that he should tell no man, but, Go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing according as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

15But the fame of him went abroad the more, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

16And he retired into the desert, and prayed.

17And it came to pass on a certain day, as he sat teaching, that there were also Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, that were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was to heal them.

18And behold, men brought in a bed a man, who had the palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

19And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went up upon the roof, and let him down through the tiles with his bed into the midst before Jesus.

20Whose faith when he saw, he said: Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

21And the scribes and Pharisees began to think, saying: Who is this who speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

22And when Jesus knew their thoughts, answering, he said to them: What is it you think in your hearts?

23Which is easier to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?

24But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say to thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.

25And immediately rising up before them, he took up the bed on which he lay; and he went away to his own house, glorifying God.

26And all were astonished; and they glorified God. And they were filled with fear, saying: We have seen wonderful things today.

27And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom, and he said to him: Follow me.

28And leaving all things, he rose up and followed him.

29And Levi made him a great feast in his own house; and there was a great company of publicans, and of others, that were at table with them.

30But the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying to his disciples: Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

31And Jesus answering, said to them: They that are whole, need not the physician: but they that are sick.

32I came not to call the just, but sinners to penance.

33And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees in like manner; but thine eat and drink?

34To whom he said: Can you make the children of the bridegroom fast, whilst the bridegroom is with them?

35But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then shall they fast in those days.

36And he spoke also a similitude to them: That no man putteth a piece from a new garment upon an old garment; otherwise he both rendeth the new, and the piece taken from the new agreeth not with the old.

37And no man putteth new wine into old bottle: otherwise the new wine will break the bottles, and it will be spilled, and the bottles will be lost.

38But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.

39And no man drinking old, hath presently a mind to new: for he saith, The old is better.

1Factum est autem, cum turbæ irruerunt in eum ut audirent verbum Dei, et ipse stabat secus stagnum Genesareth.

2Et vidit duas naves stantes secus stagnum: piscatores autem descenderant, et lavabant retia.

3Ascendens autem in unam navim, quæ erat Simonis, rogavit eum a terra reducere pusillum. Et sedens docebat de navicula turbas.

4Ut cessavit autem loqui, dixit ad Simonem: Duc in altum, et laxate retia vestra in capturam.

5Et respondens Simon, dixit illi: Præceptor, per totam noctem laborantes nihil cepimus: in verbo autem tuo laxabo rete.

6Et cum hoc fecissent, concluserunt piscium multitudinem copiosam: rumpebatur autem rete eorum.

7Et annuerunt sociis, qui erant in alia navi, ut venirent, et adjuvarent eos. Et venerunt, et impleverunt ambas naviculas, ita ut pene mergerentur.

8Quod cum videret Simon Petrus, procidit ad genua Jesu, dicens: Exi a me, quia homo peccator sum, Domine.

9Stupor enim circumdederat eum, et omnes qui cum illo erant, in captura piscium, quam ceperant:

10similiter autem Jacobum et Joannem, filios Zebedæi, qui erant socii Simonis. Et ait ad Simonem Jesus: Noli timere: ex hoc jam homines eris capiens.

11Et subductis ad terram navibus, relictis omnibus, secuti sunt eum.

12Et factum est, cum esset in una civitatum, et ecce vir plenus lepra, et videns Jesum, et procidens in faciem, rogavit eum, dicens: Domine, si vis, potes me mundare.

13Et extendens manum, tetigit eum dicens: Volo: mundare. Et confestim lepra discessit ab illo.

14Et ipse præcepit illi ut nemini diceret: sed, Vade, ostende te sacerdoti, et offer pro emundatione tua, sicut præcepit Moyses, in testimonium illis.

15Perambulabat autem magis sermo de illo: et conveniebant turbæ multæ ut audirent, et curarentur ab infirmitatibus suis.

16Ipse autem secedebat in desertum, et orabat.

17Et factum est in una dierum, et ipse sedebat docens. Et erant pharisæi sedentes, et legis doctores, qui venerant ex omni castello Galilææ, et Judææ, et Jerusalem: et virtus Domini erat ad sanandum eos.

18Et ecce viri portantes in lecto hominem, qui erat paralyticus: et quærebant eum inferre, et ponere ante eum.

19Et non invenientes qua parte illum inferrent præ turba, ascenderunt supra tectum, et per tegulas summiserunt eum cum lecto in medium ante Jesum.

20Quorum fidem ut vidit, dixit: Homo, remittuntur tibi peccata tua.

21Et cœperunt cogitare scribæ et pharisæi, dicentes: Quis est hic, qui loquitur blasphemias? quis potest dimittere peccata, nisi solus Deus?

22Ut cognovit autem Jesus cogitationes eorum, respondens, dixit ad illos: Quid cogitatis in cordibus vestris?

23Quid est facilius dicere: Dimittuntur tibi peccata: an dicere: Surge, et ambula?

24Ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata, (ait paralytico) tibi dico, surge, tolle lectum tuum, et vade in domum tuam.

25Et confestim consurgens coram illis, tulit lectum in quo jacebat: et abiit in domum suam, magnificans Deum.

26Et stupor apprehendit omnes, et magnificabant Deum. Et repleti sunt timore, dicentes: Quia vidimus mirabilia hodie.

27Et post hæc exiit, et vidit publicanum nomine Levi, sedentem ad telonium, et ait illi: Sequere me.

28Et relictis omnibus, surgens secutus est eum.

29Et fecit ei convivium magnum Levi in domo sua: et erat turba multa publicanorum, et aliorum qui cum illis erant discumbentes.

30Et murmurabant pharisæi et scribæ eorum, dicentes ad discipulos ejus: Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducatis et bibitis?

31Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illos: Non egent qui sani sunt medico, sed qui male habent.

32Non veni vocare justos, sed peccatores ad pœnitentiam.

33At illi dixerunt ad eum: Quare discipuli Joannis jejunant frequenter, et obsecrationes faciunt, similiter et pharisæorum: tui autem edunt et bibunt?

34Quibus ipse ait: Numquid potestis filios sponsi, dum cum illis est sponsus, facere jejunare?

35Venient autem dies, cum ablatus fuerit ab illis sponsus: tunc jejunabunt in illis diebus.

36Dicebat autem et similitudinem ad illos: Quia nemo commissuram a novo vestimento immittit in vestimentum vetus: alioquin et novum rumpit, et veteri non convenit commissura a novo.

37Et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres: alioquin rumpet vinum novum utres, et ipsum effundetur, et utres peribunt:

38sed vinum novum in utres novos mittendum est, et utraque conservantur.

39Et nemo bibens vetus, statim vult novum: dicit enim: Vetus melius est.

1Now it happened that, when the crowds pressed toward him, so that they might hear the word of God, he was standing beside the lake of Genesaret.

2And he saw two boats standing beside the lake. But the fishermen had climbed down, and they were washing their nets.

3And so, climbing into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, he asked him to draw back a little from the land. And sitting down, he taught the crowds from the boat.

4Then, when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, “Lead us into deep water, and release your nets for a catch.”

5And in response, Simon said to him: “Teacher, working throughout the night, we caught nothing. But on your word, I will release the net.”

6And when they had done this, they enclosed such a copious multitude of fish that their net was rupturing.

7And they signaled to their associates, who were in the other boat, so that they would come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were nearly submerged.

8But when Simon Peter had seen this, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”

9For astonishment had enveloped him, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish that they had taken.

10Now the same was true of James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were associates of Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: “Do not be afraid. From now on, you will be catching men.”

11And having led their boats to land, leaving behind everything, they followed him.

12And it happened that, while he was in a certain city, behold, there was a man full of leprosy who, upon seeing Jesus and falling to his face, petitioned him, saying: “Lord, if you are willing, you are able to cleanse me.”

13And extending his hand, he touched him, saying: “I am willing. Be cleansed.” And at once, the leprosy departed from him.

14And he instructed him that he should tell no one, “But go, show yourself to the priest, and make the offering for your cleansing, just as Moses has commanded, as a testimony for them.”

15Yet word of him traveled around all the more. And great crowds came together, so that they might listen and be cured by him from their infirmities.

16And he withdrew into the desert and prayed.

17And it happened, on a certain day, that he again sat down, teaching. And there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting nearby, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present, to heal them.

18And behold, some men were carrying in the bed of a man who was paralyzed. And they sought a way to bring him in, and to place him before him.

19And not finding a way by which they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they climbed up to the roof, and they let him down through the roof tiles with his bed, into their midst, in front of Jesus.

20And when he saw his faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

21And the scribes and Pharisees began to think, saying: “Who is this, who is speaking blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins, except God alone?”

22But when Jesus realized their thoughts, responding, he said to them: “What are you thinking in your hearts?

23Which is easier to say: ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk?’

24But so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralytic, “I say to you to: Rise up, take up your bed, and go into your house.”

25And at once, rising up in their sight, he took up the bed on which he was lying, and he went away to his own house, magnifying God.

26And astonishment took hold of everyone, and they were magnifying God. And they were filled with fear, saying: “For we have seen miracles today.”

27And after these things, he went out, and he saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the customs office. And he said to him, “Follow me.”

28And leaving behind everything, rising up, he followed him.

29And Levi made a great feast for him in his own house. And there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others, who were sitting at table with them.

30But the Pharisees and scribes were murmuring, saying to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31And responding, Jesus said to them: “It is not those who are well who need a doctor, but those who have maladies.

32I have not come to call the just, but sinners to repentance.”

33But they said to him, “Why do the disciples of John fast frequently, and make supplications, and those of the Pharisees act similarly, while yours eat and drink?”

34And he said to them: “How can you cause the sons of the groom to fast, while the groom is still with them?

35But the days will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast, in those days.”

36Then he also made a comparison for them: “For no one sews a patch from a new garment onto an old garment. Otherwise, he both disrupts the new one, and the patch from the new one does not join together with the old one.

37And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine ruptures the wineskins, and it will be poured out, and the wineskins will be lost.

38Instead, the new wine is put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

39And no one who is drinking the old, soon wishes for the new. For he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”
