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.’”

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.

Gesú chiama i suoi primi discepoli; la pesca miracolosa
5 (A)Mentre egli stava in piedi sulla riva del lago di *Gennesaret e la folla si stringeva intorno a lui per udire la parola di Dio, 2 Gesú vide due barche ferme a riva: da esse i pescatori erano smontati e lavavano le reti. 3 Montato su una di quelle barche, che era di *Simone, lo pregò di scostarsi un poco da terra; poi, sedutosi sulla barca, insegnava alla folla.
4 Com'ebbe terminato di parlare, disse a Simone: «Prendi il largo, e gettate le reti per pescare». 5 Simone gli rispose: «Maestro, tutta la notte ci siamo affaticati, e non abbiamo preso nulla; però, secondo la tua parola, getterò le reti». 6 E, fatto cosí, presero una tal quantità di pesci, che le reti si rompevano. 7 Allora fecero segno ai loro compagni dell'altra barca, di venire ad aiutarli. Quelli vennero e riempirono tutt'e due le barche, tanto che affondavano. 8 Simon *Pietro, veduto ciò, si gettò ai piedi di Gesú, dicendo: «Signore, allontànati da me, perché sono un peccatore». 9 Perché spavento aveva colto lui, e tutti quelli che erano con lui, per la quantità di pesci che avevano presi, 10 e cosí pure *Giacomo e *Giovanni, figli di Zebedeo, che erano soci di Simone. Allora Gesú disse a Simone: «Non temere; d'ora in poi sarai pescatore di uomini». 11 Ed essi, tratte le barche a terra, lasciarono ogni cosa e lo seguirono.
Gesú guarisce un lebbroso
12 (B)Mentre egli si trovava in una di quelle città[a], ecco un uomo tutto coperto di *lebbra, il quale, veduto Gesú, si gettò con la faccia a terra e lo pregò dicendo: «Signore, se vuoi, tu puoi purificarmi». 13 Ed egli stese la mano e lo toccò, dicendo: «Lo voglio, sii purificato». In quell'istante la lebbra sparí da lui. 14 Poi Gesú gli comandò di non dirlo a nessuno. «Ma va'», gli disse, «m¢strati al *sacerdote e offri per la tua purificazione ciò che *Mosè ha prescritto; e ciò serva loro di testimonianza».
15 Però la fama di lui si spandeva sempre piú; e moltissima gente si radunava per udirlo ed essere guarita dalle sue infermità. 16 Ma egli si ritirava nei luoghi deserti e pregava.
Gesú guarisce un paralitico
17 (C)Un giorno Gesú stava insegnando; e c'erano, là seduti, dei *farisei e dei *dottori della legge, venuti da tutti i villaggi della *Galilea, della *Giudea e da *Gerusalemme; e la potenza del Signore era con lui per compiere guarigioni. 18 Ed ecco degli uomini che portavano sopra un letto un paralitico, e cercavano di farlo entrare e di metterlo davanti a lui. 19 Non trovando modo d'introdurlo a causa della folla, salirono sul *tetto e, fatta un'apertura fra le tegole, lo calarono giú con il suo lettuccio, in mezzo alla gente, davanti a Gesú. 20 Ed egli, veduta la loro fede, disse: «Uomo, i tuoi peccati ti sono perdonati». 21 Allora gli *scribi e i farisei cominciarono a ragionare, dicendo: «Chi è costui che bestemmia? Chi può perdonare i peccati se non Dio solo?» 22 Ma Gesú, conosciuti i loro pensieri, disse loro: «Che cosa pensate nei vostri cuori? 23 Che cosa è piú facile, dire: “I tuoi peccati ti sono perdonati”, oppure dire: “Àlzati e cammina?” 24 Ora, affinché sappiate che il *Figlio dell'uomo ha sulla terra il potere di perdonare i peccati, “Io ti dico”, disse al paralitico, “àlzati, prendi il tuo lettuccio, e va' a casa tua”». 25 E subito il paralitico si alzò in presenza loro, prese il suo giaciglio e se ne andò a casa sua, glorificando Dio. 26 Tutti furono presi da stupore e glorificavano Dio; e, pieni di spavento, dicevano: «Oggi abbiamo visto cose straordinarie».
Chiamata di Levi
27 (D)Dopo queste cose, egli uscí e notò un *pubblicano, di nome *Levi, che sedeva al banco delle imposte, e gli disse: «Seguimi». 28 Ed egli, lasciata ogni cosa, si alzò e si mise a seguirlo.
29 Levi gli preparò un grande banchetto in casa sua; e una gran folla di pubblicani e di altre persone erano a tavola con loro. 30 I farisei e i loro scribi mormoravano e dicevano ai discepoli di Gesú: «Perché mangiate e bevete con i pubblicani e i peccatori?» 31 Gesú rispose loro: «Non sono i sani che hanno bisogno del medico, bensí i malati. 32 Io non sono venuto a chiamare dei giusti, ma dei peccatori a ravvedimento».
Del digiuno; parabola della stoffa nuova e degli otri nuovi
33 (E)Essi gli dissero: «I discepoli di Giovanni digiunano spesso e pregano; cosí pure i discepoli dei farisei; i tuoi invece mangiano e bevono». 34 Gesú disse loro: «Potete far digiunare gli amici dello sposo, mentre lo sposo è con loro? 35 Ma verranno i giorni in cui lo sposo sarà loro tolto: allora, in quei giorni, digiuneranno». 36 Disse loro anche una *parabola: «Nessuno strappa un pezzo da un vestito nuovo per metterlo a un vestito vecchio; altrimenti strappa il nuovo, e il pezzo tolto dal nuovo non si adatta al vecchio. 37 Nessuno mette vino nuovo in otri vecchi; altrimenti il vino nuovo fa scoppiare gli otri, il vino si spande, e gli otri vanno perduti. 38 Ma il vino nuovo va messo in otri nuovi. 39 E nessuno, che abbia bevuto vino vecchio, ne desidera del nuovo, perché dice: “Il vecchio è buono”».

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]
