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.’ ”

Luc 5
Louis Segond
5 Comme Jésus se trouvait auprès du lac de Génésareth, et que la foule se pressait autour de lui pour entendre la parole de Dieu,
2 il vit au bord du lac deux barques, d'où les pêcheurs étaient descendus pour laver leurs filets.
3 Il monta dans l'une de ces barques, qui était à Simon, et il le pria de s'éloigner un peu de terre. Puis il s'assit, et de la barque il enseignait la foule.
4 Lorsqu'il eut cessé de parler, il dit à Simon: Avance en pleine eau, et jetez vos filets pour pêcher.
5 Simon lui répondit: Maître, nous avons travaillé toute la nuit sans rien prendre; mais, sur ta parole, je jetterai le filet.
6 L'ayant jeté, ils prirent une grande quantité de poissons, et leur filet se rompait.
7 Ils firent signe à leurs compagnons qui étaient dans l'autre barque de venir les aider. Ils vinrent et ils remplirent les deux barques, au point qu'elles enfonçaient.
8 Quand il vit cela, Simon Pierre tomba aux genoux de Jésus, et dit: Seigneur, retire-toi de moi, parce que je suis un homme pécheur.
9 Car l'épouvante l'avait saisi, lui et tous ceux qui étaient avec lui, à cause de la pêche qu'ils avaient faite.
10 Il en était de même de Jacques et de Jean, fils de Zébédée, les associés de Simon. Alors Jésus dit à Simon: Ne crains point; désormais tu seras pêcheur d'hommes.
11 Et, ayant ramené les barques à terre, ils laissèrent tout, et le suivirent.
12 Jésus était dans une des villes; et voici, un homme couvert de lèpre, l'ayant vu, tomba sur sa face, et lui fit cette prière: Seigneur, si tu le veux, tu peux me rendre pur.
13 Jésus étendit la main, le toucha, et dit: Je le veux, sois pur. Aussitôt la lèpre le quitta.
14 Puis il lui ordonna de n'en parler à personne. Mais, dit-il, va te montrer au sacrificateur, et offre pour ta purification ce que Moïse a prescrit, afin que cela leur serve de témoignage.
15 Sa renommée se répandait de plus en plus, et les gens venaient en foule pour l'entendre et pour être guéris de leurs maladies.
16 Et lui, il se retirait dans les déserts, et priait.
17 Un jour Jésus enseignait. Des pharisiens et des docteurs de la loi étaient là assis, venus de tous les villages de la Galilée, de la Judée et de Jérusalem; et la puissance du Seigneur se manifestait par des guérisons.
18 Et voici, des gens, portant sur un lit un homme qui était paralytique, cherchaient à le faire entrer et à le placer sous ses regards.
19 Comme ils ne savaient par où l'introduire, à cause de la foule, ils montèrent sur le toit, et ils le descendirent par une ouverture, avec son lit, au milieu de l'assemblée, devant Jésus.
20 Voyant leur foi, Jésus dit: Homme, tes péchés te sont pardonnés.
21 Les scribes et les pharisiens se mirent à raisonner et à dire: Qui est celui-ci, qui profère des blasphèmes? Qui peut pardonner les péchés, si ce n'est Dieu seul?
22 Jésus, connaissant leurs pensées, prit la parole et leur dit: Quelles pensées avez-vous dans vos coeurs?
23 Lequel est le plus aisé, de dire: Tes péchés te sont pardonnés, ou de dire: Lève-toi, et marche?
24 Or, afin que vous sachiez que le Fils de l'homme a sur la terre le pouvoir de pardonner les péchés: Je te l'ordonne, dit-il au paralytique, lève-toi, prends ton lit, et va dans ta maison.
25 Et, à l'instant, il se leva en leur présence, prit le lit sur lequel il était couché, et s'en alla dans sa maison, glorifiant Dieu.
26 Tous étaient dans l'étonnement, et glorifiaient Dieu; remplis de crainte, ils disaient: Nous avons vu aujourd'hui des choses étranges.
27 Après cela, Jésus sortit, et il vit un publicain, nommé Lévi, assis au lieu des péages. Il lui dit: Suis-moi.
28 Et, laissant tout, il se leva, et le suivit.
29 Lévi lui donna un grand festin dans sa maison, et beaucoup de publicains et d'autres personnes étaient à table avec eux.
30 Les pharisiens et les scribes murmurèrent, et dirent à ses disciples: Pourquoi mangez-vous et buvez-vous avec les publicains et les gens de mauvaise vie?
31 Jésus, prenant la parole, leur dit: Ce ne sont pas ceux qui se portent bien qui ont besoin de médecin, mais les malades.
32 Je ne suis pas venu appeler à la repentance des justes, mais des pécheurs.
33 Ils lui dirent: Les disciples de Jean, comme ceux des pharisiens, jeûnent fréquemment et font des prières, tandis que les tiens mangent et boivent.
34 Il leur répondit: Pouvez-vous faire jeûner les amis de l'époux pendant que l'époux est avec eux?
35 Les jours viendront où l'époux leur sera enlevé, alors ils jeûneront en ces jours-là.
36 Il leur dit aussi une parabole: Personne ne déchire d'un habit neuf un morceau pour le mettre à un vieil habit; car, il déchire l'habit neuf, et le morceau qu'il en a pris n'est pas assorti au vieux.
37 Et personne ne met du vin nouveau dans de vieilles outres; autrement, le vin nouveau fait rompre les outres, il se répand, et les outres sont perdues;
38 mais il faut mettre le vin nouveau dans des outres neuves.
39 Et personne, après avoir bu du vin vieux, ne veut du nouveau, car il dit: Le vieux est bon.
Luke 5
1599 Geneva Bible
5 1 Christ teacheth out of the ship. 6 Of the draught of fish. 12 The Leper. 16 Christ prayeth in the desert. 18 One sick of the palsy. 27 Levi the Publican. 34 The fastings and afflictions of the Apostles after Christ’s ascension. 36,37,38 Fainthearted and weak disciples are likened to old bottles and worn garments.
1 Then (A)[a]it came to pass, as the people [b]pressed upon him to hear the word of God, that he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships stand by the lakeside, 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 required him that he would thrust off 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 to make a draught.
5 Then Simon answered, and said unto him, [c]Master, we have travailed sore all night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had so done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, so that their net brake.
7 And they beckoned to their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them, who came then, and filled both the ships, that they did sink.
8 Now when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus knees, saying, Lord, go from me: for I am a sinful man.
9 For he was utterly astonied, and all that were with him, for the draught of fishes which they took.
10 And so was also James and John the sons of Zebedee, which were companions with Simon. Then Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11 And when they had brought the ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
12 ¶ (B)[d]Now it came to pass, as he was in a certain city, behold, there was a man full of leprosy, and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13 So he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will, be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
14 And he commanded him that he should tell it no man: but Go, saith he, and show thyself to the Priest, and offer for thy cleansing, as (C)Moses hath commanded, for a witness unto them.
15 [e]But so much more went there a fame abroad of him, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of him of their infirmities.
16 But he kept himself apart in the wilderness, and prayed.
17 ¶ [f]And it came to pass, on a certain day, as he was teaching, that the Pharisees and doctors of the Law sat by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord [g]was in him, to heal them.
18 (D)Then behold, men brought a man lying in a bed, 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 press, they went up on the house, and let him down through the tiling, bed and all, in the midst before Jesus.
20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 Then the Scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God only?
22 But when Jesus perceived their reasoning he answered, and said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
23 Whether is easier to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say, Rise and walk?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority to forgive sins in earth, (he said unto the sick of the palsy) I say to thee, Arise: take up thy bed, and go into thine house.
25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up his bed whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, praising God.
26 And they were all amazed, and praised God, and were filled with fear, saying, Doubtless we have seen strange things today.
27 ¶ (E)[h]And after that, he went forth and saw a Publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me.
28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
29 Then Levi made him a great feast in his own house, where there was a great company of Publicans, and of others that sat at table with them.
30 But they that were Scribes and Pharisees among them, murmured against his disciples, saying, Why eat ye and drink ye with Publicans and sinners?
31 Then Jesus answered, and said unto them, They that are whole, need not the Physician, but they that are sick.
32 (F)I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
33 (G)(H)[i]Then they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and pray, and the disciples of the Pharisees also, but thine eat and drink?
34 [j]And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the wedding chamber to fast, as long as the bridegroom is with them?
35 But the days will come, even when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them: then shall they fast in those days.
36 Again he spake also unto them a parable, No man putteth a piece of a new garment into an old vesture: for then the new renteth it, and the piece taken out of the new, agreeth not with the old.
37 Also no man poureth new wine into old vessels: for then the new wine will break the vessels, and it will run out, and the vessels will perish:
38 But new wine must be poured into new vessels: so both are preserved.
39 Also no man that drinketh old wine, straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is more profitable.
