Chapter 5

The Call of Simon the Fisherman.[a](A) (B)While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret. He saw two boats there alongside the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. (C)After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” Simon said in reply, “Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets.” When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help them. They came and filled both boats so that they were in danger of sinking. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.” For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him, 10 and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”(D) 11 When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything[b] and followed him.(E)

The Cleansing of a Leper.(F) 12 Now there was a man full of leprosy[c] in one of the towns where he was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him, and said, “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.” 13 Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, “I do will it. Be made clean.” And the leprosy left him immediately. 14 Then he ordered him not to tell anyone, but “Go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed;[d] that will be proof for them.”(G) 15 The report about him spread all the more, and great crowds assembled to listen to him and to be cured of their ailments, 16 but he would withdraw to deserted places to pray.(H)

The Healing of a Paralytic.(I) 17 [e]One day as Jesus was teaching, Pharisees[f] and teachers of the law were sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was with him for healing. 18 And some men brought on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed; they were trying to bring him in and set [him] in his presence. 19 But not finding a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on the stretcher through the tiles[g] into the middle in front of Jesus. 20 When he saw their faith, he said, “As for you, your sins are forgiven.”[h] 21 Then the scribes[i] and Pharisees began to ask themselves, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who but God alone can forgive sins?”(J) 22 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them in reply, “What are you thinking in your hearts?(K) 23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? 24 [j](L)But that you may know that 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 stretcher, and go home.” 25 He stood up immediately before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying God. 26 Then astonishment seized them all and they glorified God, and, struck with awe, they said, “We have seen incredible things today.”

The Call of Levi.(M) 27 After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” 28 And leaving everything behind,[k] he got up and followed him. 29 (N)Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were at table with them. 30 The Pharisees and their scribes complained to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” 31 Jesus said to them in reply, “Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. 32 I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.”

The Question About Fasting.(O) 33 And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same; but yours eat and drink.” 34 [l]Jesus answered them, “Can you make the wedding guests[m] fast while the bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.” 36 [n]And he also told them a parable. “No one tears a piece from a new cloak to patch an old one. Otherwise, he will tear the new and the piece from it will not match the old cloak. 37 Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined. 38 Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins. 39 [And] no one who has been drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’”[o]

Footnotes

  1. 5:1–11 This incident has been transposed from his source, Mk 1:16–20, which places it immediately after Jesus makes his appearance in Galilee. By this transposition Luke uses this example of Simon’s acceptance of Jesus to counter the earlier rejection of him by his hometown people, and since several incidents dealing with Jesus’ power and authority have already been narrated, Luke creates a plausible context for the acceptance of Jesus by Simon and his partners. Many commentators have noted the similarity between the wondrous catch of fish reported here (Lk 4:4–9) and the post-resurrectional appearance of Jesus in Jn 21:1–11. There are traces in Luke’s story that the post-resurrectional context is the original one: in Lk 4:8 Simon addresses Jesus as Lord (a post-resurrectional title for Jesus—see Lk 24:34; Acts 2:36—that has been read back into the historical ministry of Jesus) and recognizes himself as a sinner (an appropriate recognition for one who has denied knowing Jesus—Lk 22:54–62). As used by Luke, the incident looks forward to Peter’s leadership in Luke-Acts (Lk 6:14; 9:20; 22:31–32; 24:34; Acts 1:15; 2:14–40; 10:11–18; 15:7–12) and symbolizes the future success of Peter as fisherman (Acts 2:41).
  2. 5:11 They left everything: in Mk 1:16–20 and Mt 4:18–22 the fishermen who follow Jesus leave their nets and their father; in Luke, they leave everything (see also Lk 5:28; 12:33; 14:33; 18:22), an indication of Luke’s theme of complete detachment from material possessions.
  3. 5:12 Full of leprosy: see note on Mk 1:40.
  4. 5:14 Show yourself to the priest…what Moses prescribed: this is a reference to Lv 14:2–9 that gives detailed instructions for the purification of one who had been a victim of leprosy and thereby excluded from contact with others (see Lv 13:45–46, 49; Nm 5:2–3). That will be proof for them: see note on Mt 8:4.
  5. 5:17–6:11 From his Marcan source, Luke now introduces a series of controversies with Pharisees: controversy over Jesus’ power to forgive sins (Lk 5:17–26); controversy over his eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners (Lk 5:27–32); controversy over not fasting (Lk 5:33–36); and finally two episodes narrating controversies over observance of the sabbath (Lk 5:1–11).
  6. 5:17 Pharisees: see note on Mt 3:7.
  7. 5:19 Through the tiles: Luke has adapted the story found in Mark to his non-Palestinian audience by changing “opened up the roof” (Mk 2:4, a reference to Palestinian straw and clay roofs) to through the tiles, a detail that reflects the Hellenistic Greco-Roman house with tiled roof.
  8. 5:20 As for you, your sins are forgiven: literally, “O man, your sins are forgiven you.” The connection between the forgiveness of sins and the cure of the paralytic reflects the belief of first-century Palestine (based on the Old Testament: Ex 20:5; Dt 5:9) that sickness and infirmity are the result of sin, one’s own or that of one’s ancestors (see also Lk 13:2; Jn 5:14; 9:2).
  9. 5:21 The scribes: see note on Mk 2:6.
  10. 5:24 See notes on Mt 9:6 and Mk 2:10.
  11. 5:28 Leaving everything behind: see note on Lk 5:11.
  12. 5:34–35 See notes on Mt 9:15 and Mk 2:19.
  13. 5:34 Wedding guests: literally, “sons of the bridal chamber.”
  14. 5:36–39 See notes on Mt 9:16–17 and Mk 2:19.
  15. 5:39 The old is good: this saying is meant to be ironic and offers an explanation for the rejection by some of the new wine that Jesus offers: satisfaction with old forms will prevent one from sampling the new.

Ang Pagtawag ni Jesus sa Kanyang mga Unang Tagasunod(A)

Isang araw, nakatayo si Jesus sa baybayin ng Lawa ng Genesaret, at nagsisiksikan sa kanya ang napakaraming tao upang makinig ng salita ng Dios. May nakita si Jesus na dalawang bangka sa baybayin. Nagbabaan na sa bangka ang mga mangingisda at naghuhugas na ng mga lambat nila. Sumakay siya sa isang bangka at nakiusap kay Simon na may-ari ng bangka, na itulak iyon nang kaunti sa tubig. Naupo si Jesus sa bangka at nagturo sa mga tao.

Pagkatapos niyang mangaral, sinabi niya kay Simon, “Pumalaot kayo at ihulog ang mga lambat ninyo, at makakahuli kayo ng isda.” Sumagot si Simon, “Guro, magdamag po kaming nangisda pero wala kaming nahuli. Pero dahil sinabi ninyo, ihuhulog ko ulit ang lambat.” Kaya pumalaot sila at inihulog ang lambat. At napakaraming isda ang nahuli nila hanggang sa halos masira na ang kanilang lambat. Kaya kinawayan nila ang kanilang mga kasama na nasa isa pang bangka para magpatulong. Tinulungan sila ng mga ito at napuno nila ng isda ang dalawang bangka, hanggang sa halos lumubog na sila. Nang makita iyon ni Simon Pedro, lumuhod siya sa paanan ni Jesus at sinabi, “Lumayo po kayo sa akin, Panginoon, dahil makasalanan ako.” Ganito ang naging reaksiyon niya, dahil labis siyang namangha, pati na ang mga kasamahan niya, sa dami ng nahuli nila. 10 Namangha rin sina Santiago at Juan na mga anak ni Zebedee, na mga kasosyo ni Simon. Sinabi ni Jesus kay Simon, “Huwag kang matakot. Mula ngayon, hindi na isda ang huhulihin mo kundi mga tao na upang madala sila sa Dios.” 11 Nang maitabi na nila ang kanilang mga bangka, iniwan nila ang lahat at sumunod kay Jesus.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Lalaking May Malubhang Sakit sa Balat(B)

12 Isang araw, nang nasa isang bayan si Jesus, lumapit sa kanya ang isang lalaking may malubhang sakit sa balat,[a] Lumuhod ito sa harap niya at nagmakaawa na pagalingin siya. Sinabi niya, “Panginoon, kung gusto nʼyo po, mapapagaling nʼyo ako upang maituring akong malinis.” 13 Hinawakan siya ni Jesus at sinabi, “Gusto ko. Luminis ka!” At gumaling agad ang kanyang sakit. 14 Sinabihan siya ni Jesus, “Huwag mo itong sasabihin kahit kanino. Sa halip, pumunta ka sa pari at magpasuri. Pagkatapos, maghandog ka ayon sa iniutos ni Moises bilang patunay na malinis ka na.” 15 Pero lalo pang kumalat ang balita tungkol kay Jesus, kaya dumating ang napakarami pang mga tao upang makinig sa mga aral niya at upang mapagaling sa kanilang mga sakit. 16 Pero laging pumupunta si Jesus sa ilang at doon nananalangin.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Paralitiko(C)

17 Isang araw habang nangangaral si Jesus, may mga Pariseo at mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na nakaupo malapit sa kanya. Nanggaling ang mga ito sa ibaʼt ibang bayan ng Galilea at Judea, at maging sa Jerusalem. Taglay ni Jesus ang kapangyarihan ng Panginoon para magpagaling ng mga may sakit. 18 May mga taong dumating na buhat-buhat ang isang lalaking paralitiko na nasa higaan. Sinikap nilang ipasok ito sa bahay upang ilapit kay Jesus. 19 Pero hindi sila makapasok dahil sa dami ng tao. Kaya umakyat sila sa bubong at binutasan ito. Pagkatapos, ibinaba nila sa harap ni Jesus ang paralitikong nakahiga sa kanyang higaan. 20 Nang makita ni Jesus ang kanilang pananampalataya, sinabi niya sa paralitiko, “Kaibigan,[b] pinatawad na ang mga kasalanan mo.”

21 Sinabi ng mga Pariseo at ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan sa kanilang sarili: “Sino kaya ang taong ito na lumalapastangan sa Dios? Walang makakapagpatawad ng kasalanan kundi ang Dios lang!” 22 Pero alam ni Jesus ang iniisip nila, kaya tinanong niya ang mga ito, “Bakit kayo nag-iisip ng ganyan? 23 Alin ba ang mas madaling sabihin: ‘Pinatawad na ang iyong mga kasalanan,’ o, ‘Tumayo ka at lumakad’? 24 Ngayon, papatunayan ko sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng pagpapagaling sa taong ito na ako, na Anak ng Tao, ay may kapangyarihan dito sa lupa na magpatawad ng mga kasalanan.” At sinabi niya sa paralitiko, “Tumayo ka, buhatin mo ang higaan mo at umuwi!” 25 Tumayo agad ang paralitiko sa harap ng lahat, binuhat nga niya ang kanyang higaan at umuwing nagpupuri sa Dios. 26 Namangha ang lahat at pinuri nila ang Dios. Sinabi nila, “Kahanga-hanga ang mga bagay na nakita natin ngayon!”

Tinawag ni Jesus si Levi(D)

27 Pagkatapos noon, umalis si Jesus at nakita niya ang maniningil ng buwis na ang pangalan ay Levi. Nakaupo siya sa lugar na pinagbabayaran ng buwis. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Sumunod ka sa akin.” 28 Tumayo si Levi, iniwan ang lahat at sumunod kay Jesus.

29 Naghanda si Levi sa kanyang bahay ng malaking handaan bilang parangal kay Jesus. Maraming maniningil ng buwis at iba pang mga tao ang dumalo at nakisalo sa kanila. 30 Nang makita ito ng mga Pariseo at ng mga kasama nilang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan, nagreklamo sila sa mga tagasunod ni Jesus. Sinabi nila, “Bakit kayo kumakain at umiinom na kasama ang mga maniningil ng buwis at iba pang mga makasalanan?” 31 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Ang mga taong walang sakit ay hindi nangangailangan ng doktor, kundi ang mga may sakit. 32 Hindi ako naparito upang tawagin ang mga taong matuwid sa sarili nilang paningin, kundi ang mga makasalanan upang magsisi sila sa kanilang mga kasalanan.”

Ang Tanong tungkol sa Pag-aayuno(E)

33 May mga tao roon na nagtanong kay Jesus, “Ang mga tagasunod ni Juan at ng mga Pariseo ay madalas mag-ayuno at manalangin. Bakit ang mga tagasunod mo ay panay lang ang kain at inom?” 34 Sumagot si Jesus, “Maaari bang hindi kumain ang mga panauhin sa kasalan habang kasama pa nila ang lalaking ikakasal? Siyempre, hindi! 35 Ngunit darating ang araw na kukunin sa kanila ang lalaking ikakasal, at saka sila mag-aayuno.”

36 Sinabi rin ni Jesus sa kanila ang mga talinghaga na ito: “Hindi ginugupit ang bagong damit para ipangtagpi sa luma. Kapag ginawa ito, masisira ang bagong damit, at ang tagping bago ay hindi babagay sa lumang damit. 37 Wala ring naglalagay ng bagong alak sa lumang sisidlang-balat, dahil puputok ang sisidlan at matatapon ang alak, at ang sisidlan ay hindi na mapapakinabangan pa. 38 Sa halip, inilalagay ang bagong alak sa bagong sisidlang-balat. 39 Wala ring taong nakainom na ng lumang alak ang maghahangad ng bagong alak, dahil para sa kanya, mas masarap ang luma.”

  1. 5:12 malubhang sakit sa balat: sa ibang salin ng Biblia, ketong. Ang Griegong salita nito ay ginamit sa ibaʼt ibang klase ng sakit sa balat na itinuturing na marumi ayon sa Lev. 13.
  2. 5:20 Kaibigan: sa literal, Lalaki.

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,

And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

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.

Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

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.

And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

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.

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

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.

Four Fishermen Called as Disciples(A)

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, and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. 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.

When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, (E)“Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

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.” And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. 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. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, (H)“Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”

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.’ ”
