Lukas 5
En Levende Bok
Storfiske og de første disiplene
5 En dag da Jesus sto ved Genesaretsjøen, presset folket på for å høre Guds budskap. 2 Han fikk da se to tomme båter som noen fiskere hadde forlatt ved stranden mens de skyllet garna sine. 3 Han steg om bord i en av båtene og ba Simon, han som eide den, å ro litt ut fra land. Mens han satt i båten, talte han til folket på land.
4 Da han hadde sluttet å tale, sa han til Simon: ”Ro ut på dypt vann og kast ut noten, slik at dere får den fisken dere trenger!”
5 ”Herre”, sa Simon, ”vi har arbeidet hardt i hele natt og har likevel ikke fått noe. Men etter som det er du som sier dette, skal vi forsøke på nytt.” 6 Da de gjorde det, fikk de så mye fisk at noten holdt på å revne! 7 Da vinket de på hjelp fra sine kamerater for å få dem ut med den andre båten, og snart var begge båtene så fulle med fisk at de holdt på å synke.
8 Da Simon til slutt fattet hva som hadde skjedd, falt han på kne for Jesus og sa: ”Herre, gå fra meg! Jeg er en synder. Jeg kan ikke være i din nærhet.” 9 Både han og de andre i båten hadde blitt helt forskrekket da de så hvor mye fisk de hadde fått. 10 Kompanjongene hans, som het Jakob og Johannes og var sønnene til Sebedeus, var like forskrekket.
Jesus sa til Simon: ”Vær ikke redd! Fra nå av skal du fange mennesker i stedet!”
11 Da de hadde rodd båtene i land, gikk de fra alt for å følge Jesus.
Jesus helbreder en spedalsk mann
12 En annen gang, da Jesus besøkte en by, møtte han en mann som var alvorlig angrepet av spedalskhet[a]. Da mannen fikk se Jesus kastet han seg til jorden foran han og ba: ”Herre, om du vil, da kan du gjøre meg frisk.”
13 Jesus rakte ut hånden og rørte ved ham og sa: ”Det vil jeg. Du er frisk!” Straks forsvant spedalskheten. 14 Jesus forbød mannen å fortelle til noen det som hadde skjedd. Han sa: ”Gå i stedet til presten og la ham undersøke deg. Ta også med det offeret som Moses har bestemt at spedalske skal gi når de er blitt friske.[b] Da kommer alle til å forstå at Gud har helbredet deg.”
15 Ryktet om Jesus spredde seg bare raskere og raskere. Et stort antall mennesker kom for å høre på ham og bli helbredet fra sykdommene sine. 16 Derfor trakk han seg ofte bort til øde steder for å be.
Jesus helbreder en lam mann
17 En dag Jesus underviste, satt noen av fariseerne[c] og de skriftlærde[d] blant dem som lyttet. De hadde kommet fra byene i hele Galilea og Judea, og også fra Jerusalem. Guds kraft var over Jesus slik at han kunne helbrede.
18-19 Da kom noen menn bærende på en båre der det lå en lam mann. De forsøkte å brøyte seg vei i folkemassen for å komme bort til Jesus, men de klarte ikke å ta seg fram. Derfor gikk de opp på taket og tok bort noen takstein og firte båren med den lamme mannen ned, rett foran Jesus.
20 Da Jesus så hvor stor tro de hadde, sa han til den lamme: ”Min sønn, jeg har tilgitt syndene dine.”
21 ”Hva er dette for en fyr som spotter[e] Gud på dette viset?” tenkte fariseerne og de skriftlærde. ”Det er jo bare Gud som kan tilgi synder.”
22 Jesus forsto hva de tenkte og sa: ”Hvorfor tenker dere at dette er å spotte Gud? 23 Er det ikke like umulig for et menneske å si til den lamme: ’Reis deg opp og gå’ som det er å si ’Jeg tilgir deg syndene dine?’ ” 24 Så vendte han seg til den lamme og sa: ”For å bevise at jeg, Menneskesønnen[f], har makt til å tilgi synder her på jorden, sier jeg deg: ’Reis deg opp, ta båren din og gå hjem!’ ” 25-26 Og straks reiste seg mannen opp, rett foran øynene på folket som var mer enn forbløffet. Mannen tok båren sin og gikk hjem, mens han hele tiden hyllet Gud. Alle som så det, ble helt forskrekket. Så begynte de å hylle Gud og gjentok gang på gang: ”Det vi har sett i dag, er helt utrolig, ja, virkelig helt utrolig!”
Jesus kaller en toller
27 Da Jesus seinere dro fra byen, fikk han se en toller[g] som het Levi sitte utenfor tollboden. ”Kom og bli min disippel”, sa Jesus til ham. 28 Uten å nøle reiste Levi seg, dro fra alt og fulgte Jesus.
29 Levi ordnet seinere til en fest for Jesus i huset sitt. Da de spiste sammen, deltok mange av kollegene til Levi som jobbet i tolletaten blant gjestene. Det var også mange andre gjester.
30 Fariseerne[h], og spesielt de skriftlærde[i] blant dem, ble svært sinte og sa til disiplene: ”Hvordan kan dere synke så dypt at dere spiser sammen med tollere og syndere?” 31 Jesus svarte: ”Det er ikke de friske som trenger lege, men de som er syke. 32 Min oppgave her på jorden er å føre syndere tilbake til Gud, ikke å ta hånd om dem som allerede følger hans vilje.”
Jesus svarer på spørsmål om faste
33 De religiøse lederne anklaget også Jesus for en annen sak. De sa: ”Disiplene til døperen Johannes faster og ber regelmessig, og det gjør også disiplene til fariseerne[j]. Men dine, de spiser og drikker og nyter livet i fulle drag!”
34 Da svarte Jesus: ”Dere vil vel ikke pålegge bryllupsgjestene å gå fastende og sultne mens brudgommen er hos dem? 35 Men en dag vil han bli tatt fra dem, og i tiden etter den dagen vil de nok faste. Det finnes tid og sted for alt.” 36 Jesus fortalte to eksempler som illustrerte dette: Han sa: ”Ingen river løs en bit tøy fra et nytt plagg som enda ikke er krympet, for å sy den på et gammelt plagg. Da blir jo først det nye plagget ødelagt, og for øvrig vil lappen krympe og dermed rive i stykker plagget som er gammelt. 37 Og ingen heller ny vin i gamle skinnsekker, for når vinen gjærer, blir sekkene sprengt og ødelagt, og vinen renner ut. 38 Nei, ny vin må fylles i nye sekker. 39 Men ingen som har drukket av den gamle vinen, har særlig lyst på den nye. Den gamle gylne årgangen er best, sier de.”[k]

Luke 5
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.’ ”

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.

Jesus Calls the First Disciples
5 On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by (A)the lake of Gennesaret, 2 (B)and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were (C)washing their nets. 3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And (D)he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, (E)“Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 And Simon answered, “Master, (F)we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this, (G)they enclosed a large number of fish, and (H)their nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. (I)And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, (J)“Depart from me, for (K)I am a sinful man, O Lord.” 9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”[a] 11 And when they had brought their boats to land, (L)they left everything and followed him.
Jesus Cleanses a Leper
12 While he was in one of the cities, (M)there came a man full of leprosy.[b] And when he saw Jesus, he (N)fell on his face and begged him, “Lord, (O)if you will, you can make me clean.” 13 And Jesus[c] stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him. 14 And he charged him (P)to tell no one, but “go and show (Q)yourself to the priest, and (R)make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, (S)for a proof to them.” 15 (T)But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities. 16 But (U)he would withdraw to desolate places and (V)pray.
Jesus Heals a Paralytic
17 On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and (W)teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And (X)the power of the Lord was with him to heal.[d] 18 (Y)And behold, some men were bringing (Z)on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus, 19 but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on (AA)the roof and let him down with his bed (AB)through the tiles into the midst before Jesus. 20 And (AC)when he saw their faith, he said, “Man, (AD)your sins are forgiven you.” 21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this who speaks (AE)blasphemies? (AF)Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 22 When Jesus (AG)perceived their thoughts, he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? 24 But that you may know that (AH)the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed—“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.” 25 And immediately he rose up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went home, (AI)glorifying God. 26 And amazement seized them all, and they (AJ)glorified God and were filled (AK)with awe, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”
Jesus Calls Levi
27 (AL)After this he went out and saw (AM)a tax collector named (AN)Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Follow me.” 28 And (AO)leaving everything, he rose and followed him.
29 And Levi made him a great feast in his house, and there was a large company (AP)of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them. 30 And the Pharisees and (AQ)their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, (AR)“Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” 31 And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 32 (AS)I have not come to call the righteous (AT)but sinners (AU)to repentance.”
A Question About Fasting
33 And they said to him, (AV)“The disciples of John (AW)fast often and (AX)offer prayers, (AY)and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink.” 34 And Jesus said to them, (AZ)“Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? 35 (BA)The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and (BB)then they will fast in those days.” 36 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. If he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old (BC)wineskins. If he does, 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 wineskins. 39 And no one after drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’”[e]
