Luke 5
New American Standard Bible
The First Disciples
5 (A)Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the word of God, He was standing by (B)the lake of Gennesaret; 2 and He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets. 3 And (C)He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little distance from the land. And He sat down and continued teaching the crowds from the boat. 4 Now when He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and (D)let down your nets for a catch.” 5 Simon responded and said, “(E)Master, (F)we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but [a]I will do as You say and let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this, (G)they caught a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to tear; 7 so they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both of the boats, to the point that they were sinking. 8 But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!” 9 For amazement had seized him and all his companions because of the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and likewise also were [b]James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “(H)Do not fear; from now on you will be (I)catching people.” 11 When they had brought their boats to land, (J)they left everything and followed Him.
A Man with Leprosy Healed
12 (K)While He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man [c]covered with leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” 13 And He reached out with His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately the leprosy left him. 14 And He ordered him to tell no one, saying, “But go and (L)show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 15 But (M)the news about Him was spreading even farther, and large crowds were gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 But Jesus Himself would often slip away [d]to the [e]wilderness and (N)pray.
A Man Lowered through a Roof
17 [f]One day He was teaching, and (O)there were some Pharisees and (P)teachers of the Law sitting there who had (Q)come from every village of Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and (R)the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing. 18 (S)And some men were carrying a man on a stretcher who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of Him. 19 But when they did not find any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on (T)the roof and let him down (U)through the tiles with his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus. 20 And seeing their faith, He said, “[g]Friend, (V)your sins are forgiven you.” 21 The scribes and the Pharisees (W)began thinking of the implications, saying, “(X)Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? (Y)Who can forgive sins, except God alone?” 22 But Jesus, [h]aware of their thoughts, responded and said to them, “Why are you thinking this way in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say: ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ 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 (Z)man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher, and go home.” 25 And immediately he got up before them, and picked up what he had been lying on, and went home (AA)glorifying God. 26 And [i]they were all struck with astonishment and began (AB)glorifying God. They were also filled (AC)with fear, saying, “We have seen remarkable things today!”
Call of Levi (Matthew)
27 (AD)After that He went out and looked at a tax collector named [j](AE)Levi sitting in the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me.” 28 And he (AF)left everything behind, and got up and began following Him.
29 And (AG)Levi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a large crowd of (AH)tax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them. 30 (AI)The Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling to His disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and [k]sinners?” 31 And Jesus answered and said to them, “(AJ)It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.”
33 And they said to Him, “(AK)The disciples of John often fast and offer prayers, the disciples of the Pharisees also do [l]the same, but Yours eat and drink.” 34 And Jesus said to them, “You cannot make the [m]attendants of the groom fast while the groom is with them, can you? 35 (AL)But the days will come; and when the groom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.” 36 And He was also telling them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the patch from the new garment will not match the old. 37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39 And no one, after drinking old wine wants new; for he says, ‘The old is fine.’”

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.’ ”

Undret med den stora fiskfångsten
5 En dag när Jesus predikade på stranden vid sjön Gennesaret, trängdes folket för att få höra Guds ord.
2 Han fick då se två tomma båtar som några fiskare lämnat vid strandkanten medan de sköljde sina nät.
3 Jesus steg i en av båtarna och bad Petrus, som ägde den, att skjuta ut den från land så att han kunde sitta i den och tala till folket.
4 När han hade slutat tala, sa han till Petrus: Ro nu ut på djupet och lägg ut näten, så ska ni få så mycket fisk ni vill ha!
5 Herre, sa Petrus, vi har arbetat hårt hela natten men ändå har vi inte fått ett dugg. Men eftersom du säger det, så ska vi försöka igen.
6 När de gjorde det fick de så mycket fisk att näten började gå sönder!
7 De vinkade då åt sina kamrater så att de kom ut med den andra båten, och snart var båda båtarna så fulla med fisk att de var nära att sjunka.
8 När Petrus fattade vad som hänt, föll han ner på knä för Jesus och sa: Herre, lämna oss! Jag är en alltför stor syndare för att vara i närheten av dig.
9 Han och alla de andra blev nämligen förskräckta när de såg hur mycket fisk man fått.
10 Det blev också Jakob och Johannes, Sebedaios söner, som fiskat tillsammans med Petrus.Men Jesus sa till Petrus: Var inte orolig! Från och med nu ska du fånga människor!
11 Och så snart de kom i land lämnade de allt för att följa Jesus.
Jesus botar en leprasjuk
12 En dag när Jesus besökte en av städerna, träffade han där en man som var svårt angripen av spetälska. När mannen såg Jesus, kastade han sig till marken med ansiktet i vägdammet, och tiggde och bad om att bli botad.Herre, sa han, om du bara vill, så kan du befria mig från varje spår av min sjukdom.
13 Jesus sträckte ut sin hand och rörde vid honom och sa: Naturligtvis vill jag det. Nu är du botad. Och genast lämnade sjukdomen honom.
14 Sedan sa Jesus till mannen att inte berätta för någon vad som hänt. Gå i stället till den judiske prästen, och låt honom undersöka dig och ge det offer som Moses lag föreskriver för leprasjuka som blivit botade, sa han. Detta kommer att bevisa för alla att du är frisk.
15 Men ryktet om Jesus spred sig allt snabbare, och stora folkskaror kom för att höra honom predika och för att bli botade från sina sjukdomar.
16 Men han drog sig ofta undan till öknen för att be.
Jesus botar en lam man
17 En dag när Jesus undervisade fanns några av judarnas religiösa ledare och laglärare bland åhörarna. De hade kommit från byarna i hela Galileen och Judeen, och också från Jerusalem. Och Guds helande kraft var över honom.
18-19 Just då hände det! Några män kom bärande på en förlamad man på en sovmatta. De försökte tränga sig igenom folkmassan för att komma nära Jesus men lyckades inte ta sig fram. Då gick de upp på taket, tog bort några takplattor och sänkte ner den sjuke mannen på sovmattan mitt på golvet framför Jesus.
20 När Jesus såg deras tro, sa han till mannen: Min vän, dina synder är förlåtna.
21 'Vad inbillar sig egentligen den här karln? sa fariseerna och laglärarna till varandra om Jesus. Det här är ju hädelse! Vem kan förlåta synder utom Gud?
22 Jesus förstod vad de tänkte och svarade: Varför är det hädelse?
23 Vilket är svårast? Att förlåta hans synder eller att bota honom?
24 Men för att ni ska veta att jag har makt att förlåta synder här på jorden, ska jag visa att jag också kan bota sjuka.Sedan sa han till den lame mannen: Res dig upp, rulla ihop din sovmatta och gå hem!
25 Och genast medan alla såg på reste sig mannen upp, tog sin matta och gick hem och lovprisade Gud.
26 En känsla av både vördnad och respekt grep alla som såg det. Och de lovprisade Gud och sa gång på gång: Det vi har sett i dag är otroligt!
Jesus kallar en skatteindrivare till lärjunge
27 När Jesus senare lämnade staden fick han se en tullindrivare - med det vanliga ryktet om sig att vara en bedragare - sitta vid tullkontoret. Mannen hette Levi, och Jesus sa till honom: Kom och bli en av mina lärjungar.
28 Utan att tveka lämnade Levi allt, reste sig och följde med honom.
29 Strax därpå höll Levi en fest i sitt hem med Jesus som hedersgäst. Bland gästerna var också många av hans arbetskamrater på tullkontoret.
30 Men fariseerna och laglärarna kom med fräna anklagelser mot Jesu lärjungar, därför att de åt med så ökända syndare.
31 Då svarade Jesus: Det är de sjuka som behöver läkare, inte de friska.
32 Min uppgift är att kalla syndare till gemenskap med Gud. Jag vänder mig inte till dem som redan känner Gud.
Frågor om fastan och sabbaten
33 Nästa anklagelse från deras sida var att Jesu lärjungar inte fastade utan i stället festade. Johannes döparens lärjungar fastar och ber ständigt, sa de, och det gör också fariseernas. Men varför dricker dina lärjungar vin och äter god mat?
34 Jesus frågade: Fastar lyckliga människor? Får bröllopsgästerna gå hungriga när de är på fest tillsammans med brudgummen?
35 Men det kommer en tid då brudgummen ska dödas. Då kommer de inte att vilja äta.
36 Sedan använde Jesus denna bild: Ingen river sönder ett okrympt tyg för att göra lappar till gamla kläder av det. Tyget blir ju förstört och inte heller kläderna blir ordentligt lagade.
37 Och ingen häller nytt vin i gamla vinsäckar, för det nya vinet spräcker de gamla skinnen och förstör dem, så att vinet rinner ut.
38 Nytt vin måste hällas i nya vinsäckar.
39 Men ingen som druckit av det gamla vinet tycks vilja ha av det nya. Det gamla vanliga är bäst, säger man.
