Luke 5
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Jesus Calls the First Disciples
5 Once while Jesus[a] was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, 2 he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught 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, ‘Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.’ 6 When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. 7 So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, ‘Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!’ 9 For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, ‘Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.’ 11 When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.
Jesus Cleanses a Leper
12 Once, when he was in one of the cities, there was a man covered with leprosy.[b] When he saw Jesus, he bowed with his face to the ground and begged him, ‘Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean.’ 13 Then Jesus[c] stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, ‘I do choose. Be made clean.’ Immediately the leprosy[d] left him. 14 And he ordered him to tell no one. ‘Go’, he said, ‘and show yourself to the priest, and, as Moses commanded, make an offering for your cleansing, for a testimony to them.’ 15 But now more than ever the word about Jesus[e] spread abroad; many crowds would gather to hear him and to be cured of their diseases. 16 But he would withdraw to deserted places and pray.
Jesus Heals a Paralytic
17 One day, while he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting nearby (they had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem); and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.[f] 18 Just then some men came, carrying a paralysed man on a bed. They were trying to bring him in and lay him before Jesus;[g] 19 but finding no way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the middle of the crowd[h] in front of Jesus. 20 When he saw their faith, he said, ‘Friend,[i] your sins are forgiven you.’ 21 Then the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, ‘Who is this who is speaking blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?’ 22 When Jesus perceived their questionings, he answered them, ‘Why do you raise such questions in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, “Your sins are forgiven you”, or to say, “Stand 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 one who was paralysed—‘I say to you, stand up and take your bed and go to your home.’ 25 Immediately he stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went to his home, glorifying God. 26 Amazement seized all of them, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, ‘We have seen strange things today.’
Jesus Calls Levi
27 After this he went out and saw a tax-collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ 28 And he got up, left everything, and followed him.
29 Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house; and there was a large crowd of tax-collectors and others sitting at the table[j] with them. 30 The Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to his disciples, saying, ‘Why do you eat and drink with tax-collectors and sinners?’ 31 Jesus answered, ‘Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; 32 I have come to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance.’
The Question about Fasting
33 Then they said to him, ‘John’s disciples, like the disciples of the Pharisees, frequently fast and pray, but your disciples eat and drink.’ 34 Jesus said to them, ‘You cannot make wedding-guests fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you? 35 The days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.’ 36 He also told them a parable: ‘No one tears a piece from a new garment and sews it on an old garment; otherwise the new will be torn, and the piece from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39 And no one after drinking old wine desires new wine, but says, “The old is good.”’[k]

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.’ ”

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’ ”.
