Lucas 5
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Llamada a los primeros discípulos (Mt 4,18-22; Mc 1,16-20)
5 En cierta ocasión estaba Jesús a orillas del lago de Genesaret y la gente se apiñaba a su alrededor deseosa de escuchar la palabra de Dios. 2 Atracadas a la orilla, Jesús vio dos barcas. Los pescadores habían descendido de ellas y estaban lavando las redes. 3 Subiendo a una de las barcas, rogó a su dueño, Simón, que la apartara un poco de la orilla. Luego se sentó en la barca, y desde allí estuvo enseñando a la gente. 4 Cuando acabó su discurso, dijo a Simón:
— Rema lago adentro y echen las redes para pescar.
5 Simón le contestó:
— Maestro, hemos pasado toda la noche trabajando y no hemos pescado nada; pero, puesto que tú lo dices, echaré las redes.
6 Así lo hicieron; y recogieron tal cantidad de pescado que las redes estaban a punto de romperse. 7 Entonces avisaron por señas a sus compañeros, que estaban en la otra barca, para que vinieran a echarles una mano. Llegaron ellos y llenaron las dos barcas, hasta el punto que casi se hundían. 8 Al ver esto, Simón Pedro cayó de rodillas delante de Jesús y le dijo:
— Señor, apártate de mí, que soy un pecador.
9 Y es que el temor los había invadido a él y a todos sus compañeros a la vista de la gran redada de peces que habían capturado. 10 Lo mismo les ocurría a Santiago y a Juan, los hijos de Zebedeo, que acompañaban a Simón en la pesca. Pero Jesús dijo a Simón:
— No tengas miedo. Desde ahora serás pescador de hombres.
11 Y después de sacar las barcas a tierra, lo dejaron todo y se fueron con Jesús.
Curación de un leproso (Mt 8,1-4; Mc 1,40-45)
12 En uno de los pueblos por donde pasaba Jesús, había un hombre cubierto de lepra. Al ver a Jesús, se postró rostro en tierra y le dijo:
— Señor, si quieres, puedes limpiarme de mi enfermedad.
13 Jesús extendió su mano y lo tocó, diciendo:
— Quiero, queda limpio.
Y al instante le desapareció la lepra. 14 Jesús le ordenó que no se lo dijera a nadie. Y añadió:
— Ve, muéstrate al sacerdote y presenta por tu curación la ofrenda prescrita por Moisés. Así todos tendrán evidencia de tu curación.
15 La fama de Jesús se extendía cada vez más, y eran muchos los que acudían a escucharlo y a que los curase de sus enfermedades. 16 Pero Jesús se retiraba a lugares solitarios para orar.
Curación de un paralítico (Mt 9,2-8; Mc 2,1-12)
17 Un día estaba Jesús enseñando. Cerca de él se habían sentado algunos fariseos y doctores de la ley llegados de todas las aldeas de Galilea y de Judea, y también de Jerusalén. Y el poder del Señor se manifestaba en las curaciones que hacía. 18 En esto llegaron unos hombres que traían a un paralítico en una camilla y que andaban buscando cómo entrar en la casa para ponerlo delante de Jesús. 19 No encontrando el modo de introducirlo a causa del gentío, subieron a la terraza y, a través de un hueco que abrieron en el techo, bajaron al paralítico en su camilla y lo pusieron en medio, delante de Jesús. 20 Al ver la fe de quienes lo llevaban, Jesús dijo al enfermo:
— Amigo, tus pecados quedan perdonados.
21 Los maestros de la ley y los fariseos se pusieron a pensar: “¿Quién es este, que blasfema de tal manera? ¡Solamente Dios puede perdonar pecados!”. 22 Jesús se dio cuenta de lo que estaban pensando y les preguntó:
23 — ¿Por qué están pensando así? ¿Qué es más fácil? ¿Decir: “Tus pecados quedan perdonados”, o decir: “Levántate y anda”? 24 Pues voy a demostrarles que el Hijo del hombre tiene autoridad en este mundo para perdonar pecados.
Se volvió al paralítico y le dijo:
— A ti te hablo: levántate, recoge tu camilla y márchate a casa.
25 Él se levantó al instante delante de todos, recogió la camilla donde estaba acostado y se fue a su casa alabando a Dios. 26 Todos los presentes quedaron atónitos y comenzaron a alabar a Dios. Sobrecogidos de temor, decían:
— ¡Hoy hemos visto cosas increíbles!
Jesús llama a Leví (Mt 9,9-13; Mc 2,13-17)
27 Después de esto, Jesús salió de allí y vio a un recaudador de impuestos llamado Leví, que estaba sentado en su despacho de recaudación de impuestos. Le dijo:
— Sígueme.
28 Leví se levantó y, dejándolo todo, lo siguió. 29 Más tarde, Leví hizo en su casa una gran fiesta en honor de Jesús, y juntamente con ellos se sentaron a la mesa una multitud de recaudadores de impuestos y de otras personas. 30 Los fariseos y sus maestros de la ley se pusieron a murmurar y preguntaron a los discípulos de Jesús:
— ¿Cómo es que ustedes se juntan a comer y beber con recaudadores de impuestos y gente de mala reputación?
31 Jesús les contestó:
— No necesitan médico los que están sanos, sino los que están enfermos. 32 Yo no he venido a llamar a los buenos, sino a los pecadores, para que se conviertan.
El ayuno, el remiendo y los odres (Mt 9,14-17; Mc 2,18-22)
33 Entonces dijeron a Jesús:
— Los discípulos de Juan ayunan a menudo y se dedican a la oración, y lo mismo hacen los de los fariseos. ¡En cambio, los tuyos comen y beben!
34 Jesús les contestó:
— ¿Harían ustedes ayunar a los invitados a una boda mientras el novio está con ellos? 35 Ya llegará el momento en que les faltará el novio; entonces ayunarán.
36 Además les puso este ejemplo:
— Nadie corta un trozo de tela a un vestido nuevo para remendar uno viejo. De hacerlo así, se estropearía el nuevo y al viejo no le quedaría bien la pieza del nuevo. 37 Tampoco echa nadie vino nuevo en odres viejos, pues el vino nuevo rompe los odres, de modo que el vino se derrama y los odres se pierden. 38 El vino nuevo hay que echarlo en odres nuevos 39 Y nadie que haya bebido vino añejo querrá beber después vino nuevo, porque dirá que el añejo es mejor.
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.’ ”

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]
