Luke 5
American Standard Version
5 Now it came to pass, while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret; 2 and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 3 And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat. 4 And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy word I will let down the nets. 6 And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking; 7 and they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken; 10 and so were also [a]James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt [b]catch men. 11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him.
12 And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, behold, 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 And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway the leprosy departed from him. 14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go thy way, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, [c]according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 15 But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities. 16 But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed.
17 And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him [d]to heal. 18 And behold, men bring on a bed a man that was palsied: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 19 And not finding by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the midst before Jesus. 20 And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? 22 But Jesus perceiving their [e]reasonings, answered and said unto them, [f]Why reason ye in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk? 24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he said unto him that was palsied), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thy house. 25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his house, glorifying God. 26 And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.
27 And after these things he went forth, and beheld a [g]publican, named Levi, sitting at the place of toll, and said unto him, Follow me. 28 And he forsook all, and rose up and followed him.
29 And Levi made him a great feast in his house: and there was a great multitude of [h]publicans and of others that were sitting at meat with them. 30 And [i]the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the [j]publicans and sinners? 31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are [k]in health have no need of a physician; but they that are sick. 32 I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
33 And they said unto him, The disciples of John fast often, and make supplications; likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink. 34 And Jesus said unto them, Can ye make the [l]sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come; and when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days. 36 And he spake also a parable unto them: No man rendeth a piece from a new garment and putteth it upon an old garment; else he will rend the new, and also the piece from the new will not agree with the old. 37 And no man putteth new wine into old [m]wine-skins; else the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be spilled, and the skins will perish. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins. 39 And no man having drunk old wine desireth new; for he saith, The old is [n]good.

Luke 5
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
5 Now it occurred that while the people pressed upon Jesus to hear the message of God, He was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret (Sea of Galilee).
2 And He saw two boats drawn up by the lake, but the fishermen had gone down from them and were washing their nets.
3 And getting into one of the boats, [the one] that belonged to Simon (Peter), He requested him to draw away a little from the shore. Then He sat down and continued to teach the crowd [of people] from the boat.
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon (Peter), Put out into the deep [water], and lower your nets for a haul.
5 And Simon (Peter) answered, Master, we toiled all night [[a]exhaustingly] and caught nothing [in our nets]. But [b]on the ground of Your word, I will lower the nets [again].
6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish; and as their nets were [[c]at the point of] breaking,
7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and take hold with them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 For he was gripped with bewildering amazement [allied to terror], and all who were with him, at the haul of fish which they had made;
10 And so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon (Peter). And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from now on you will be catching men!
11 And after they had run their boats on shore, they left everything and [d] joined Him as His disciples and sided with His party and accompanied Him.
12 While He was in one of the towns, there came a man full of (covered with) leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, Lord, if You are willing, You are able to cure me and make me clean.
13 And [Jesus] reached out His hand and touched him, saying, I am willing; be cleansed! And immediately the leprosy left him.
14 And [Jesus] charged him to tell no one [[e]that he might chance to meet], [f]until [He said] you go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your purification, as Moses commanded, for a testimony and proof to the people, that they may have evidence [of your healing].(A)
15 But so much the more the news spread abroad concerning Him, and great crowds kept coming together to hear [Him] and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.
16 But He Himself withdrew [in retirement] to the wilderness (desert) and prayed.
17 One of those days, as He was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting by, who had come from every village and town of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was [present] with Him to heal [g]them.
18 And behold, some men were bringing on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed, and they tried to carry him in and lay him before [Jesus].
19 But finding no way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him with his stretcher through the tiles into the midst, in front of Jesus.
20 And when He saw [their confidence in Him, springing from] their faith, He said, Man, your sins are forgiven you!
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason and question and argue, saying, Who is this [Man] Who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?
22 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts and questionings, answered them, Why do you question in your hearts?
23 Which is easier: to say, Your sins are forgiven you, or to say, Arise and walk [about]?
24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has the [[h]power of] authority and right on earth to forgive sins, He said to the paralyzed man, I say to you, arise, pick up your litter (stretcher), and go to your own house!
25 And instantly [the man] stood up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went away to his house, [i]recognizing and praising and thanking God.
26 And overwhelming astonishment and ecstasy seized them all, and they [j]recognized and praised and thanked God; and they were filled with and controlled by reverential fear and kept saying, We have seen wonderful and strange and incredible and unthinkable things today!
27 And after this, Jesus went out and looked [attentively] at a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office; and He said to him, [k]Join Me as a disciple and side with My party and accompany Me.
28 And he forsook everything and got up and followed Him [becoming His disciple and siding with His party].
29 And Levi (Matthew) made a great banquet for Him in his own house, and there was a large company of tax collectors and others who were reclining [at the table] with them.
30 Now the Pharisees and their scribes were grumbling against Jesus’ disciples, saying, Why are you eating and drinking with tax collectors and [preeminently] sinful people?
31 And Jesus replied to them, It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.
32 I have not come to arouse and invite and call the righteous, but [l]the erring ones ([m]those not free from sin) to repentance [[n]to change their minds for the better and heartily to amend their ways, with abhorrence of their past sins].
33 Then they said to Him, The disciples of John practice fasting often and offer up prayers of [special] petition, and so do [the disciples] of the Pharisees also, but Yours eat and drink.
34 And Jesus said to them, Can you make the wedding guests fast as long as the bridegroom is with them?
35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; and then they will fast in those days.
36 He told them a [o]proverb also: No one puts a patch from a new garment on an old garment; if he does, he will both tear the new one, and the patch from the new [one] will not match the old [garment].
37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the fresh wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled and the skins will be ruined (destroyed).
38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
39 And no one after drinking old wine immediately desires new wine, for he says, The old is good or [p]better.

路加福音 5
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
呼召门徒
5 一天，耶稣站在革尼撒勒湖边，众人团团围着祂，要听上帝的道。 2 祂看见湖边停着两条船，渔夫离了船正在洗网， 3 就上了西门的那条船，请西门把船稍微划离岸边，然后坐在船上教导众人。 4 耶稣讲完之后对西门说：“把船划到水深的地方去撒网捕鱼。”
5 西门说：“老师，我们劳碌了一整夜，一无所获，但既然你这样吩咐，我就照你的话做。” 6 他们把网撒下去，果然捕获很多鱼，差点把网撑破了， 7 于是招呼另一条船上的同伴来帮忙。他们一起把两条船都装满了鱼，船几乎要沉下去了。
8 西门·彼得见状，便跪倒在耶稣膝前说：“主啊，离开我，我是个罪人！” 9 他和所有同伴们对捕到这么多鱼感到非常惊讶， 10 包括西庇太的两个儿子雅各和约翰。耶稣对西门说：“不要怕，从今以后，你将成为得人的渔夫。” 11 于是他们把船靠岸后，撇下一切跟从了耶稣。
洁净麻风病人
12 有一次，耶稣在一个小镇遇见一个浑身患麻风病的人，那人一看见耶稣，就俯伏在地上恳求说：“主啊，如果你肯，一定能使我洁净。”
13 耶稣伸手摸他，说：“我肯，你洁净了吧！”他身上的麻风病立刻消失了。
14 耶稣又嘱咐他：“不要把这事告诉别人，要去让祭司察看你的身体，照摩西的规定献上祭物，向众人证明你已经洁净了。”
15 结果耶稣的名声传得更广了，成群的人聚集到祂那里听祂讲道、求祂医病。 16 不过，祂还是常常退到旷野去祷告。
叫瘫子行走
17 有一天，耶稣在教导人，旁边坐着来自加利利、犹太和耶路撒冷各地的法利赛人和律法教师，主的能力伴随着耶稣，使祂能医治病人。
18 有人用担架抬着一个瘫痪的人想进到屋里，把他放在耶稣面前。 19 可是人太挤了，无法进去，他们就爬上屋顶，掀开瓦片，把那病人连人带担架缒到耶稣面前。 20 耶稣看见他们那么有信心，就对瘫子说：“朋友，你的罪得到赦免了！”
21 那些法利赛人和律法教师开始议论起来：“这个说话亵渎上帝的人是谁啊？除了上帝以外，谁能够赦罪？”
22 耶稣知道他们的想法，就问：“你们为什么心里议论呢？ 23 说‘你的罪得到赦免了’容易呢，还是说‘你起来行走’容易呢？ 24 如今我要让你们知道人子在世上有赦罪的权柄。”于是对瘫子说：“我吩咐你起来！收拾你的担架回家去吧。”
25 那人立刻当众站了起来，拿起他躺卧的担架回家去了，不住地赞美上帝。 26 众人都十分惊奇，一同赞美上帝，心里充满了敬畏，说：“今天我们看到神迹了！”
呼召利未
27 后来耶稣外出时，看见一个名叫利未的税吏坐在收税站里，就对他说：“跟从我！” 28 利未就起来，撇下一切跟从了耶稣。
29 随后，他在家设宴款待耶稣，赴宴的人中有许多税吏和其他人。 30 法利赛人和律法教师就向耶稣的门徒抱怨说：“你们为什么跟税吏和罪人一起吃喝呢？”
31 耶稣答道：“健康的人不需要医生，有病的人才需要。 32 我来不是要召义人悔改，乃是召罪人悔改。”
论禁食
33 他们说：“约翰的门徒常常禁食祷告，法利赛人的门徒也是一样，可是你的门徒却又吃又喝。”
34 耶稣说：“新郎还跟宾客在一起的时候，岂能让宾客禁食？ 35 但有一天新郎将被带走，那时他们就要禁食了。” 36 耶稣又给他们讲了一个比喻，说：“没有人会从新衣服上撕下一块布来，补在旧衣服上。否则，不但新衣服撕破了，旧衣服和新补丁也不相称。 37 同样，没有人把新酒装进旧皮囊里，否则新酒会把旧皮囊胀破，酒也漏了，皮囊也毁了。 38 所以新酒一定要装在新皮囊里。 39 但是，没有人喝过陈年老酒后，还愿意喝新酒，因为他会说，‘还是陈年老酒好。’”
