ΚΑΤΑ ΛΟΥΚΑΝ 5
1881 Westcott-Hort New Testament
5 εγενετο δε εν τω τον οχλον επικεισθαι αυτω και ακουειν τον λογον του θεου και αυτος ην εστως παρα την λιμνην γεννησαρετ
2 και ειδεν πλοια δυο εστωτα παρα την λιμνην οι δε αλιεις απ αυτων αποβαντες επλυνον τα δικτυα
3 εμβας δε εις εν των πλοιων ο ην σιμωνος ηρωτησεν αυτον απο της γης επαναγαγειν ολιγον καθισας δε εκ του πλοιου εδιδασκεν τους οχλους
4 ως δε επαυσατο λαλων ειπεν προς τον σιμωνα επαναγαγε εις το βαθος και χαλασατε τα δικτυα υμων εις αγραν
5 και αποκριθεις σιμων ειπεν επιστατα δι ολης νυκτος κοπιασαντες ουδεν ελαβομεν επι δε τω ρηματι σου χαλασω τα δικτυα
6 και τουτο ποιησαντες συνεκλεισαν πληθος ιχθυων πολυ διερρησσετο δε τα δικτυα αυτων
7 και κατενευσαν τοις μετοχοις εν τω ετερω πλοιω του ελθοντας συλλαβεσθαι αυτοις και ηλθον και επλησαν αμφοτερα τα πλοια ωστε βυθιζεσθαι αυτα
8 ιδων δε σιμων πετρος προσεπεσεν τοις γονασιν ιησου λεγων εξελθε απ εμου οτι ανηρ αμαρτωλος ειμι κυριε
9 θαμβος γαρ περιεσχεν αυτον και παντας τους συν αυτω επι τη αγρα των ιχθυων ων συνελαβον
10 ομοιως δε και ιακωβον και ιωαννην υιους ζεβεδαιου οι ησαν κοινωνοι τω σιμωνι και ειπεν προς τον σιμωνα ιησους μη φοβου απο του νυν ανθρωπους εση ζωγρων
11 και καταγαγοντες τα πλοια επι την γην αφεντες παντα ηκολουθησαν αυτω
12 και εγενετο εν τω ειναι αυτον εν μια των πολεων και ιδου ανηρ πληρης λεπρας ιδων δε τον ιησουν πεσων επι προσωπον εδεηθη αυτου λεγων κυριε εαν θελης δυνασαι με καθαρισαι
13 και εκτεινας την χειρα ηψατο αυτου λεγων θελω καθαρισθητι και ευθεως η λεπρα απηλθεν απ αυτου
14 και αυτος παρηγγειλεν αυτω μηδενι ειπειν αλλα απελθων δειξον σεαυτον τω ιερει και προσενεγκε περι του καθαρισμου σου καθως προσεταξεν μωυσης εις μαρτυριον αυτοις
15 διηρχετο δε μαλλον ο λογος περι αυτου και συνηρχοντο οχλοι πολλοι ακουειν και θεραπευεσθαι απο των ασθενειων αυτων
16 αυτος δε ην υποχωρων εν ταις ερημοις και προσευχομενος
17 και εγενετο εν μια των ημερων και αυτος ην διδασκων και ησαν καθημενοι φαρισαιοι και νομοδιδασκαλοι οι ησαν εληλυθοτες εκ πασης κωμης της γαλιλαιας και ιουδαιας και ιερουσαλημ και δυναμις κυριου ην εις το ιασθαι αυτον
18 και ιδου ανδρες φεροντες επι κλινης ανθρωπον ος ην παραλελυμενος και εζητουν αυτον εισενεγκειν και θειναι [αυτον] ενωπιον αυτου
19 και μη ευροντες ποιας εισενεγκωσιν αυτον δια τον οχλον αναβαντες επι το δωμα δια των κεραμων καθηκαν αυτον συν τω κλινιδιω εις το μεσον εμπροσθεν του ιησου
20 και ιδων την πιστιν αυτων ειπεν ανθρωπε αφεωνται σοι αι αμαρτιαι σου
21 και ηρξαντο διαλογιζεσθαι οι γραμματεις και οι φαρισαιοι λεγοντες τις εστιν ουτος ος λαλει βλασφημιας τις δυναται αμαρτιας αφειναι ει μη μονος ο θεος
22 επιγνους δε ο ιησους τους διαλογισμους αυτων αποκριθεις ειπεν προς αυτους τι διαλογιζεσθε εν ταις καρδιαις υμων
23 τι εστιν ευκοπωτερον ειπειν αφεωνται σοι αι αμαρτιαι σου η ειπειν εγειρε και περιπατει
24 ινα δε ειδητε οτι ο υιος του ανθρωπου εξουσιαν εχει επι της γης αφιεναι αμαρτιας ειπεν τω παραλελυμενω σοι λεγω εγειρε και αρας το κλινιδιον σου πορευου εις τον οικον σου
25 και παραχρημα αναστας ενωπιον αυτων αρας εφ ο κατεκειτο απηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου δοξαζων τον θεον
26 και εκστασις ελαβεν απαντας και εδοξαζον τον θεον και επλησθησαν φοβου λεγοντες οτι ειδομεν παραδοξα σημερον
27 και μετα ταυτα εξηλθεν και εθεασατο τελωνην ονοματι λευιν καθημενον επι το τελωνιον και ειπεν αυτω ακολουθει μοι
28 και καταλιπων παντα αναστας ηκολουθει αυτω
29 και εποιησεν δοχην μεγαλην λευις αυτω εν τη οικια αυτου και ην οχλος πολυς τελωνων και αλλων οι ησαν μετ αυτων κατακειμενοι
30 και εγογγυζον οι φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεις αυτων προς τους μαθητας αυτου λεγοντες δια τι μετα των τελωνων και αμαρτωλων εσθιετε και πινετε
31 και αποκριθεις [ο] ιησους ειπεν προς αυτους ου χρειαν εχουσιν οι υγιαινοντες ιατρου αλλα οι κακως εχοντες
32 ουκ εληλυθα καλεσαι δικαιους αλλα αμαρτωλους εις μετανοιαν
33 οι δε ειπαν προς αυτον οι μαθηται ιωαννου νηστευουσιν πυκνα και δεησεις ποιουνται ομοιως και οι των φαρισαιων οι δε σοι εσθιουσιν και πινουσιν
34 ο δε ιησους ειπεν προς αυτους μη δυνασθε τους υιους του νυμφωνος εν ω ο νυμφιος μετ αυτων εστιν ποιησαι νηστευσαι
35 ελευσονται δε ημεραι και οταν απαρθη απ αυτων ο νυμφιος τοτε νηστευσουσιν εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις
36 ελεγεν δε και παραβολην προς αυτους οτι ουδεις επιβλημα απο ιματιου καινου σχισας επιβαλλει επι ιματιον παλαιον ει δε μη γε και το καινον σχισει και τω παλαιω ου συμφωνησει το επιβλημα το απο του καινου
37 και ουδεις βαλλει οινον νεον εις ασκους παλαιους ει δε μη γε ρηξει ο οινος ο νεος τους ασκους και αυτος εκχυθησεται και οι ασκοι απολουνται
38 αλλα οινον νεον εις ασκους καινους βλητεον
39 [ουδεις πιων παλαιον θελει νεον λεγει γαρ ο παλαιος χρηστος εστιν]
Luca 5
La Bibbia della Gioia
I primi discepoli
5 Un giorno, mentre Gesù predicava sulla riva del lago di Genesaret, la folla gli si stringeva attorno per ascoltare la Parola di Dio. 2 Gesù allora vide due barche vuote ferme a riva: i pescatori erano scesi e lavavano le reti. 3 Montato su una delle barche, Gesù disse a Simone, il proprietario, di scostarsi un poʼ dalla riva, così si sarebbe potuto sedere nella barca e da lì parlare alla folla.
4 Quando ebbe finito di parlare, egli disse a Simone: «Ora vai al largo e getta le reti; vedrai quanto pesce prenderai!» 5 Ma Simone rispose: «Signore, abbiamo lavorato sodo tutta la notte e non abbiamo preso niente! Ma se lo dici tu, proviamo ancora…» 6 E stavolta le reti furono così piene, che cominciarono a strapparsi! 7 Allora fecero cenno ai compagni dellʼaltra barca, perché venissero ad aiutarli; e ben presto tutte e due le barche furono talmente piene di pesce, che rischiavano di affondare!
8 Quando Simon Pietro si rese conto dellʼaccaduto, cadde in ginocchio davanti a Gesù, dicendo: «O, Signore, per piacere allontanati da me, perché io sono troppo peccatore per starti vicino!» 9-10 Pietro era rimasto sconvolto da quella pesca straordinaria e, come lui, lo erano gli altri, ed anche i suoi soci, Giacomo e Giovanni, figli di Zebedeo. Ma Gesù disse a Simone: «Non aver paura! Dʼora in avanti pescherai anime di uomini!»
11 E non appena sbarcarono, essi lasciarono tutto per andare con Gesù.
Gesù guarisce molti malati
12 Un giorno, in un certo villaggio che Gesù stava visitando cʼera un uomo lebbroso da molti anni. Quando il poveretto vide Gesù, si gettò ai suoi piedi, supplicandolo perché lo guarisse.
«Signore», disse, «se soltanto lo vuoi, tu puoi guarirmi del tutto!»
13 Gesù lo toccò, dicendo: «Certo che lo voglio. Sii guarito!» E la lebbra sparì. 14 Allora Gesù gli ordinò di allontanarsi subito, senza dir niente a nessuno e di andare a farsi vedere dal sacerdote giudeo. Poi aggiunse: «Offri il sacrificio richiesto dalla legge di Mosè per i lebbrosi che sono guariti. Ciò proverà a tutti che ora stai bene». 15 A questo punto, la notizia della sua potenza si sparse a grande velocità e moltissime persone venivano per sentirlo predicare e per essere guariti dalle malattie. 16 E Gesù spesso si ritirava in luoghi deserti per pregare.
17 Un giorno, mentre insegnava, si erano seduti vicino a lui alcuni capi religiosi giudei e dottori della legge, venuti da molti villaggi della Galilea, della Giudea ed anche da Gerusalemme. E la potenza del Signore era con lui per compiere guarigioni.
18-19 Ed ecco che alcuni uomini vennero portando un paralitico in barella. Cercarono di farsi largo fra la folla per raggiungere Gesù, ma non ci riuscirono. Allora salirono sul tetto sopra di lui, tolsero alcune tegole e piano piano calarono la barella con lʼinvalido giù fra la folla, proprio davanti a Gesù.
20 Vedendo la loro fede, Gesù disse a quellʼuomo: «Amico, i tuoi peccati ti sono perdonati!»
21 «Ma chi pensa di essere questo qui?» cominciarono a domandarsi i Farisei e i dottori della legge. «Questa è una bestemmia! Chi può perdonare i peccati allʼinfuori di Dio?»
22 Ma Gesù che conosceva i loro pensieri disse loro: «Perché fate questi ragionamenti? 23-24 Io, il Messia, ho lʼautorità qui sulla terra di perdonare i peccati. Ma parlare è facile, chiunque potrebbe dire, ciò che ho detto. Vi proverò quindi la verità delle mie parole, guarendo questʼuomo». Poi, rivolto al paralitico, comandò: «Raccogli la tua barella e vattene a casa, perché sei guarito!»
25 Immediatamente, sotto gli occhi allibiti dei presenti, lʼuomo si alzò, raccolse la barella e se ne andò a casa, lodando Dio. 26 Tutti quanti furono presi da spavento e timore; e lodavano Dio, ripetendo: «Oggi abbiamo visto cose davvero straordinarie!»
27 Più tardi, mentre Gesù passava per la strada, vide un esattore delle tasse, con la solita reputazione di truffatore, che sedeva dietro il suo banco. Lʼuomo si chiamava Levi. Gesù gli disse: «Vieni e diventa mio discepolo!» 28 Levi balzò in piedi, lasciò tutto e andò con lui.
29 Poco dopo Levi diede un pranzo a casa sua. Gesù era lʼospite dʼonore. Cʼerano anche molti colleghi di Levi, agenti delle tasse, ed altri ospiti.
Gli esperti contestano
30 I Farisei e i dottori della legge protestarono vivamente con i discepoli, perché Gesù partecipava a quel banchetto, spalla a spalla con i più noti peccatori.
31 Gesù rispose loro: «Sono i malati che hanno bisogno del medico, non quelli in buona salute! 32 Io sono venuto a chiamare quelli che si sentono peccatori, perché cambino vita, non quelli che si reputano già abbastanza buoni!»
33 I Farisei e i dottori della legge protestarono anche perché i discepoli di Gesù mangiavano e bevevano, anziché digiunare. Dicevano: «I discepoli di Giovanni Battista digiunano spesso e pregano, così fanno anche i nostri discepoli. Perché i tuoi discepoli, invece, mangiano e bevono?»
34 Gesù rispose: «Possibile che si metta a digiunare chi è felice? O pensate, forse, che gli invitati ad un banchetto di nozze se ne stiano a soffrir la fame, mentre festeggiano lo sposo? 35 Ma verrà il momento in cui lo sposo sarà portato via da loro; allora sì che non vorranno più mangiare!»
36 Poi Gesù portò questo paragone: «Nessuno taglia un pezzo di stoffa da un vestito nuovo per rattoppare un vestito vecchio. Non solo sarebbe rovinato lʼindumento nuovo, ma anche il vecchio sarebbe più brutto con una toppa nuova! 37 Così pure, nessuno mette del vino nuovo in otri vecchi, perché il vino nuovo li fa scoppiare, e così si rovinerebbero gli otri ed anche il vino andrebbe perso. 38 Il vino nuovo deve essere messo in otri nuovi. 39 E nessuno, dopo aver bevuto del vino dʼannata, ne vuol bere del nuovo. Infatti si suol dire: “Quello vecchio è migliore”».
Luke 5
King James Version
5 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.

New King James Version
Four Fishermen Called as Disciples(A)
5 So (B)it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to (C)hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. 3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He (D)sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, (E)“Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught (F)nothing; nevertheless (G)at Your word I will let down the net.” 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. 7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, (H)“Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
9 For he and all who were with him were (I)astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. (J)From now on you will catch men.” 11 So when they had brought their boats to land, (K)they [a]forsook all and followed Him.
Jesus Cleanses a Leper(L)
12 (M)And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of (N)leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and [b]implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
13 Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” (O)Immediately the leprosy left him. 14 (P)And He charged him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, (Q)just as Moses commanded.”
15 However, (R)the report went around concerning Him all the more; and (S)great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities. 16 (T)So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and (U)prayed.
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic(V)
17 Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present [c]to heal them. 18 (W)Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. 19 And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst (X)before Jesus.
20 When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
21 (Y)And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? (Z)Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
22 But when Jesus (AA)perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’? 24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, (AB)“I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
25 Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, (AC)glorifying God. 26 And they were all amazed, and they (AD)glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!”
Matthew the Tax Collector(AE)
27 (AF)After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, (AG)“Follow Me.” 28 So he left all, rose up, and (AH)followed Him.
29 (AI)Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And (AJ)there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them. 30 [d]And their scribes and the Pharisees [e]complained against His disciples, saying, (AK)“Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 32 (AL)I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
Jesus Is Questioned About Fasting(AM)
33 Then they said to Him, (AN)“Why[f] do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?”
34 And He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the (AO)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 (AP)Then He spoke a parable to them: “No one [g]puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins, [h]and both are preserved. 39 And no one, having drunk old wine, [i]immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is [j]better.’ ”

Jesus Calls His First Disciples(A)
5 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) 2 He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 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)
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”(D)
5 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.”
6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.(G) 7 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.
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”(H) 9 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.’”
