Luke 5
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Calling of the First Disciples
5 One time, while the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.[a] 2 He saw two boats there along the lakeshore. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. 3 Jesus got into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from the shore. He sat down and began teaching the crowds from the boat. 4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water, and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Simon answered him, “Master, we worked hard all through the night and caught nothing. But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6 When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their nets were about to tear apart. 7 They signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, because I am a sinful man, Lord.” 9 For Peter and all those with him were amazed at the number of fish they had caught, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon.
Jesus said to Simon, “Have no fear. From now on you will be catching people.”
11 After they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him.
Jesus Heals a Leper
12 On another occasion, Jesus was in one of the towns, and there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
13 Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be made clean.”
Immediately the leprosy left him. 14 Jesus ordered him to tell no one, “But go, show yourself to the priest, and offer what Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony for them.” 15 The news about him spread even more, and large crowds gathered to listen and be healed of their sicknesses. 16 But Jesus often withdrew to deserted places and prayed.
Jesus Forgives Sins
17 On one of the days while Jesus was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal. 18 Just then, men who were carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher tried to bring him in and lay him in front of Jesus. 19 Since they did not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him down through the tiles on his stretcher into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. 20 When he saw their faith, he said, “Man, your sins have been forgiven.”
21 The experts in the law and the Pharisees began to think to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins except God alone?”
22 But Jesus knew their thoughts and answered them, “Why are you thinking this in your hearts? 23 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins have been forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins. . .” He said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your stretcher, and go home.”
25 Immediately, he stood up in front of them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God. 26 They were all astonished and glorified God. They were also filled with reverence and said, “We have seen wonderful things today.”
The Calling of Levi (Matthew)
27 After these things, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at the tax collector’s booth. He said to him, “Follow me.”
28 Levi left everything, got up, and followed Jesus. 29 Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house. There was a large crowd of tax collectors and others dining with them. 30 The Pharisees and experts in the law grumbled against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Jesus answered them, “The healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
A Question About Fasting
33 They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples fast and pray often, and so do the Pharisees’ disciples, but yours go on eating and drinking?”
34 Jesus said to them, “You cannot make the attendants of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you? 35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then, in those days, they will fast.”
36 He told them a parable: “No one tears a patch from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. If he does, he will tear the new garment, and the patch from the new garment will not match the old one. 37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined. 38 Instead, new wine must be put into fresh wineskins so both are preserved. 39 And no one wants new wine while drinking old wine, because he says, ‘The old is fine.’”

Pescuirea minunată
5 Pe când(A) Se afla lângă lacul Ghenezaret şi Îl îmbulzea norodul ca să audă Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu, 2 Isus a văzut două corăbii la marginea lacului; pescarii ieşiseră din ele să-şi spele mrejele. 3 S-a suit într-una din aceste corăbii, care era a lui Simon, şi l-a rugat s-o depărteze puţin de la ţărm. Apoi, a şezut jos şi învăţa pe noroade din corabie. 4 Când a încetat să vorbească, a zis lui Simon: „Depărteaz-o(B) la adânc şi aruncaţi-vă mrejele pentru pescuire”. 5 Drept răspuns, Simon I-a zis: „Învăţătorule, toată noaptea ne-am trudit şi n-am prins nimic, dar, la cuvântul Tău, voi arunca mrejele!” 6 După ce le-au aruncat, au prins o aşa de mare mulţime de peşti că începeau să li se rupă mrejele. 7 Au făcut semn tovarăşilor lor, care erau în cealaltă corabie, să vină să le ajute. Aceia au venit şi au umplut amândouă corăbiile, aşa că au început să se afunde corăbiile. 8 Când a văzut Simon Petru lucrul acesta, s-a aruncat la genunchii lui Isus şi I-a zis: „Doamne, pleacă(C) de la mine, căci sunt un om păcătos”. 9 Fiindcă îl apucase spaima pe el şi pe toţi cei ce erau cu el din pricina pescuirii pe care o făcuseră. 10 Tot aşa şi pe Iacov şi pe Ioan, fiii lui Zebedei, tovarăşii lui Simon. Atunci, Isus a zis lui Simon: „Nu te teme; de acum(D) încolo vei fi pescar de oameni”. 11 Ei au scos corăbiile la mal, au lăsat(E) totul şi au mers după El.
Vindecarea unui lepros
12 Isus(F) era într-una din cetăţi. Şi iată că un om plin de lepră, cum L-a văzut, s-a aruncat cu faţa la pământ, L-a rugat şi I-a zis: „Doamne, dacă vrei, poţi să mă curăţeşti”. 13 Isus a întins mâna, S-a atins de el şi i-a zis: „Da, voiesc, fii curăţit!”Îndată l-a lăsat lepra. 14 Apoi(G), i-a poruncit să nu spună nimănui. „Ci du-te”, i-a zis El, „de te arată preotului şi adu, pentru curăţirea ta, ce(H) a rânduit Moise, ca mărturie pentru ei”. 15 Se răspândea tot mai mult vestea despre El, şi oamenii se(I) strângeau cu grămada ca să-L asculte şi să fie vindecaţi de bolile lor. 16 Iar(J) El se ducea în locuri pustii şi Se ruga.
Vindecarea unui slăbănog
17 Într-una din zile, Isus învăţa pe noroade. Nişte farisei şi învăţători ai Legii, care veniseră din toate satele Galileii şi Iudeii şi din Ierusalim, stăteau acolo; iar puterea Domnului era cu El, ca să vindece. 18 Şi(K) iată că nişte oameni purtau într-un pat pe un slăbănog şi căutau să-l ducă înăuntru, ca să-l pună înaintea Lui. 19 Fiindcă n-aveau pe unde să-l ducă înăuntru, din pricina norodului, s-au suit pe acoperişul casei şi l-au coborât cu patul printre cărămizi, în mijlocul adunării, înaintea lui Isus. 20 Când le-a văzut credinţa, Isus a zis: „Omule, păcatele îţi sunt iertate!” 21 Cărturarii şi fariseii au(L) început să cârtească şi să zică în ei înşişi: „Cine(M) este acesta de rosteşte hule? Cine poate să ierte păcatele decât singur Dumnezeu?” 22 Isus, care le-a cunoscut gândurile, a luat cuvântul şi le-a zis: „Pentru ce cârtiţi în inimile voastre? 23 Ce este mai lesne: a zice: ‘Păcatele îţi sunt iertate’ sau a zice: ‘Scoală-te şi umblă?’ 24 Dar, ca să ştiţi că Fiul omului are putere pe pământ să ierte păcatele: ţie îţi poruncesc”, a zis El slăbănogului, „scoală-te, ridică-ţi patul şi du-te acasă.” 25 Şi numaidecât, slăbănogul s-a sculat în faţa lor, a ridicat patul pe care zăcea şi s-a dus acasă, slăvind pe Dumnezeu. 26 Toţi au rămas uimiţi şi slăveau pe Dumnezeu; plini de frică ziceau: „Azi am văzut lucruri nemaipomenite”.
Chemarea lui Levi
27 După(N) aceea, Isus a ieşit afară şi a văzut pe un vameş, numit Levi, şezând la vamă. Şi i-a zis: „Vino după Mine!” 28 Vameşul a lăsat totul, s-a sculat şi a mers după El. 29 Levi I-a făcut(O) un ospăţ mare la el în casă, şi o mulţime de vameşi şi de alţi oaspeţi şedeau la masă cu ei. 30 Fariseii şi cărturarii cârteau şi ziceau ucenicilor Lui: „Pentru ce mâncaţi şi beţi împreună cu vameşii şi cu păcătoşii?” 31 Isus a luat cuvântul şi le-a zis: „Nu cei sănătoşi au trebuinţă de doctor, ci cei bolnavi. 32 N-am(P) venit să chem la pocăinţă pe cei neprihăniţi, ci pe cei păcătoşi.”
Întrebarea despre post
33 Ei I-au zis: „Ucenicii(Q) lui Ioan, ca şi ai fariseilor, postesc des şi fac rugăciuni, pe când ai Tăi mănâncă şi beau”. 34 El le-a răspuns: „Oare puteţi face pe nuntaşi să postească în timpul când mirele este cu ei? 35 Vor veni zile când va fi luat mirele de la ei; atunci vor posti în acele zile.” 36 Le-a spus(R) şi o pildă: „Nimeni nu rupe dintr-o haină nouă un petic ca să-l pună la o haină veche; altminteri, rupe şi haina cea nouă şi nici peticul luat de la ea nu se potriveşte la cea veche. 37 Şi nimeni nu pune vin nou în burdufuri vechi; altminteri, vinul cel nou sparge burdufurile, se varsă, şi burdufurile se prăpădesc; 38 ci vinul nou trebuie pus în burdufuri noi şi amândouă se păstrează. 39 Şi nimeni, după ce a băut vin vechi, nu voieşte vin nou, căci zice: ‘Este mai bun cel vechi’ ”.
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.
