Llamamiento de los primeros discípulos

Aconteció que mientras la multitud se agolpaba sobre Él para oír la palabra de Dios, estando Jesús(A) junto al lago de Genesaret(B), vio dos barcas que estaban a la orilla del lago, pero los pescadores habían bajado de ellas y lavaban las redes. Subiendo a una de las barcas, que era de Simón, pidió que se separara un poco de tierra; y sentándose, enseñaba a las multitudes desde la barca(C). Al terminar de hablar, dijo a Simón: «Sal a la parte más profunda[a]y echen sus redes para pescar[b](D)».

Simón le contestó: «Maestro(E), hemos estado trabajando toda la noche y no hemos pescado[c] nada(F), pero porque Tú lo pides, echaré las redes». Cuando lo hicieron, encerraron una gran cantidad de peces(G), de modo que sus redes se rompían. Entonces hicieron señas a sus compañeros que estaban en la otra barca para que vinieran a ayudarlos. Y vinieron y llenaron ambas barcas, de tal manera que se hundían.

Al ver esto, Simón Pedro cayó a los pies[d] de Jesús, diciendo: «¡Apártate de mí, Señor, pues soy hombre pecador!». Porque el asombro se había apoderado de él y de todos sus compañeros, por la gran pesca que habían hecho; 10 y lo mismo les sucedió también a Jacobo[e] y a Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, que eran socios de Simón. Y Jesús dijo a Simón: «No temas(H); desde ahora serás pescador de hombres(I)». 11 Y después de traer las barcas a tierra, dejándolo todo, siguieron a Jesús(J).

Curación de un leproso

12 (K)Estando Jesús en una de las ciudades, había allí un hombre lleno de lepra, y cuando vio a Jesús, cayó sobre su rostro y le rogó: «Señor, si quieres, puedes limpiarme». 13 Extendiendo Jesús la mano, lo tocó, diciendo: «Quiero; sé limpio». Y al instante la lepra lo dejó. 14 Y Él le mandó que no se lo dijera a nadie. «Pero anda», le dijo, «muéstrate al sacerdote(L)y da una ofrenda[f]por tu purificación según lo ordenó Moisés, para que les sirva de testimonio».

15 Su fama[g] se difundía cada vez más(M), y grandes multitudes se congregaban para oír a Jesús y ser sanadas de sus enfermedades. 16 Pero con frecuencia Él se retiraba a[h] lugares solitarios y oraba(N).

Curación de un paralítico

17 Y[i] un día[j] que Él estaba enseñando, estaban allí sentados algunos fariseos(O) y maestros de la ley(P) que habían venido de todas las aldeas de Galilea y Judea, y de Jerusalén(Q); y el poder del Señor(R) estaba con Él para sanar. 18 (S)Y unos hombres trajeron en una camilla a un hombre que estaba paralítico; y trataban de meterlo y ponerlo delante de Jesús. 19 No hallando cómo introducirlo debido a la multitud, subieron a la azotea(T) y lo bajaron con la camilla a través del techo[k](U), poniéndolo en medio, delante de Jesús. 20 Al ver Jesús la fe de ellos, dijo: «Hombre, tus pecados te son perdonados(V)».

21 Entonces los escribas y fariseos comenzaron a razonar(W), diciendo: «¿Quién es Este que habla blasfemias? ¿Quién puede perdonar pecados, sino solo Dios(X)?». 22 Conociendo Jesús sus pensamientos, les respondió: «¿Por qué razonan en sus corazones? 23 ¿Qué es más fácil, decir: “Tus pecados te son perdonados”, o decir: “Levántate y anda”? 24 Pues para que sepan que el Hijo del Hombre tiene autoridad en la tierra para perdonar pecados», dijo al paralítico(Y): «A ti te digo: levántate, toma tu camilla y vete a tu casa».

25 Al instante se levantó delante de ellos, tomó la camilla en que había estado acostado, y se fue a su casa glorificando a Dios(Z). 26 El asombro se apoderó de todos y glorificaban a Dios(AA); y se llenaron de temor(AB), diciendo: «Hoy hemos visto cosas extraordinarias».

Llamamiento de Leví y la cena en su casa

27 (AC)Después de esto, Jesús salió y se fijó en un recaudador de impuestos[l] llamado Leví(AD), sentado en la oficina de los tributos, y le dijo: «Sígueme». 28 Y él, dejándolo todo, se levantó y lo seguía(AE).

29 Leví(AF) le ofreció un gran banquete en su casa, y había un grupo grande de recaudadores de impuestos(AG) y de otros que estaban sentados[m] a la mesa con ellos. 30 Y los fariseos y sus escribas(AH) se quejaban a los discípulos de Jesús, diciendo: «¿Por qué comen y beben ustedes con los recaudadores de impuestos y con los pecadores?». 31 Jesús les respondió: «Los sanos no tienen necesidad de médico, sino los que están enfermos(AI). 32 No he venido a llamar a justos, sino a pecadores al arrepentimiento».

Pregunta sobre el ayuno

33 Ellos dijeron a Jesús: «Los discípulos de Juan ayunan con frecuencia y hacen oraciones; los de los fariseos también hacen lo mismo, pero los Tuyos comen y beben(AJ)». 34 Entonces Jesús les dijo: «¿Acaso pueden hacer que los acompañantes del novio[n]ayunen mientras el novio está con ellos? 35 Pero vendrán días cuando[o]el novio les será quitado, entonces ayunarán en aquellos días(AK)».

36 También les dijo una parábola: «Nadie corta un pedazo de un vestido nuevo y lo pone en un vestido viejo; porque entonces[p]romperá el nuevo, y el pedazo del nuevo no armonizará con el viejo. 37 Y nadie echa vino nuevo en odres[q]viejos, porque entonces[r]el vino nuevo romperá los odres y se derramará, y los odres se perderán, 38 sino que el vino nuevo debe echarse en odres nuevos[s]. 39 Y nadie, después de beber vino añejo, desea vino nuevo, porque dice: “El añejo es mejor[t]”».

Jesus Calls His First Disciples(A)

One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,[a] the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God.(B) He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.(C)

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”(D)

Simon answered, “Master,(E) we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything.(F) But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”

When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.(G) So they signaled 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.

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”(H) For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners.

Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid;(I) from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.(J)

Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(K)

12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy.[b](L) When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

13 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14 Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone,(M) but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded(N) for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

15 Yet the news about him spread all the more,(O) so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.(P)

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(Q)

17 One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law(R) were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick.(S) 18 Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 19 When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, 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.

20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”(T)

21 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”(U)

22 Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 23 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24 But I want you to know that the Son of Man(V) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 25 Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. 26 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God.(W) They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners(X)

27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,”(Y) Jesus said to him, 28 and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.(Z)

29 Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors(AA) and others were eating with them. 30 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect(AB) complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”(AC)

31 Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”(AD)

Jesus Questioned About Fasting(AE)

33 They said to him, “John’s disciples(AF) often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking.”

34 Jesus answered, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom(AG) fast while he is with them? 35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them;(AH) in those days they will fast.”

36 He told them this parable: “No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins. 39 And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’”

Calling Fishermen at the Kinneret

It happened that the crowds were pressing upon Yeshua to hear the word of God as He was standing by the Lake of Kinneret, when He saw two boats standing beside the lake. Now the fishermen had left them and were washing the nets. Getting into one of the boats, Simon’s boat, Yeshua asked him to push out a ways from the land. Then sitting down, He taught the crowds from the boat.

When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Go out into the deep water, and let down your nets for a catch.”

Simon replied, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and caught nothing. But at Your word I will let down the nets.” When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Yeshua’s knees, saying, “Go away from me, Master, for I am a sinful man!” For amazement had gripped him and all who were with him, over the catch of fish they had netted; 10 so also Jacob and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were partners with Simon.

But Yeshua said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on, you will be catching men.” 11 So when they had brought the boats to the landing, they left everything and followed Him.

Yeshua Heals and News Spreads

12 Now while Yeshua was in one of the towns, a man covered with tzara’at appeared. And when he saw Yeshua, he fell on his face and begged Him, saying, “Master, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

13 Yeshua stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be cleansed!” Immediately, the tzara’at left him. 14 Yeshua ordered him to tell no one, but commanded him, “Go and show yourself to the kohen.[a] Then bring an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

15 But the news about Yeshua was spreading all the more, and many crowds were coming together to hear and to be healed of their diseases. 16 Yet He would often slip away into the wilderness and pray.

Crowds Gather from the Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem

17 Now on one of those days, Yeshua was teaching. Pharisees and Torah scholars were sitting there, who had come from every village of the Galilee and Judea, as well as from Jerusalem. And Adonai’s power to heal was in Him. 18 And behold, men were carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher, trying to bring him in and place him before Yeshua. 19 But when they found no way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his stretcher through the tiles, right in the middle before Yeshua. 20 When He saw their faith, He said, “Man, your sins are forgiven.”

21 Then the Torah scholars and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this fellow speaking blasphemies? Who can pardon sins but God alone?”

22 Yeshua, knowing their thoughts, replied to them, “Why are you raising questions in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24 But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins. . . .” He said to the paralyzed one, “I tell you, get up and take your cot, and go home!”

25 Immediately he got up before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying God. 26 Astonishment took hold of them, and they glorified God and all were filled with awe, saying, “We’ve seen incredible things today!”

The Banquet at Levi’s House

27 After these things, Yeshua went out and observed a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. He said to him, “Follow Me.” 28 And leaving everything, he got up and followed Him.

29 Levi made a great banquet for Yeshua at his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them. 30 The Pharisees and their Torah scholars began murmuring to His disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31 And Yeshua answered and said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a doctor, but those who are sick do. 32 I did not come to call the righteous, but the sinful to repentance.”

33 But they said to Him, “John’s disciples often fast and offer prayers, as do the disciples of the Pharisees. But Your disciples are eating and drinking.”

34 But Yeshua said to them, “You cannot make the guests of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you? 35 But the days will come; and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.”

36 Now he was also telling them a parable. “No one tears a patch from a new garment to use it on an old garment. Otherwise he will rip the new, and the patch from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, it will be spilled out, and the skins will be destroyed. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39 No man who drinks old wine wants new, because he says, ‘The old is fine.’”
