Now{G1161} it came to pass,{G1096} while{G1722} the multitude{G3793} pressed upon{G1945} him{G846} and heard{G191} the word{G3056} of God,{G2532} that{G2258} he{G846} was standing{G2476} by{G3844} the lake{G3041} of Gennesaret;{G1082}

and{G2532} he saw{G1492} two{G1417} boats{G4143} standing{G2476} by{G3844} the lake:{G3041} but{G1161} the fishermen{G231} had gone out{G576} of{G575} them,{G846} and were washing{G637} their nets.{G1350}

And{G1161} he entered{G1684} into{G1519} one{G1520} of the boats,{G4143} which{G3739} was{G2258} Simon's,{G4613} and asked{G2065} him{G846} to put out{G1877} a little{G3641} from{G575} the land.{G1093} And{G2532} he sat down{G2523} and taught{G1321} the multitudes{G3793} out of{G1537} the boat.{G4143}

And{G1161} when{G5613} he had left{G3973} speaking,{G2980} he said{G2036} unto{G4314} Simon,{G4613} Put out{G1877} into{G1519} the deep,{G899} and{G2532} let down{G5465} your{G5216} nets{G1350} for{G1519} a draught.{G61}

And{G2532} Simon{G4613} answered{G2036} and said,{G2036} Master,{G1988} we toiled{G2872} {G1223} all{G3650} night,{G3571} and took{G2983} nothing:{G3762} but{G1161} at{G1909} thy{G4675} word{G4487} I will let down{G5465} the nets.{G1350}

And{G2532} when they had{G4160} done{G4160} this,{G5124} they inclosed{G4788} a great{G4183} multitude{G4128} of fishes;{G2486} and{G1161} their{G846} nets{G1350} were breaking;{G1284}

and{G2532} they beckoned{G2656} unto{G3353} their partners{G3353} {G3588} in{G1722} the other{G2087} boat,{G4143} that they should come{G2064} and{G2532} help{G4815} them.{G846} And{G2532} they came,{G2064} and{G2532} filled{G4130} both{G297} the boats,{G4143} so that{G5620} they{G846} began to sink.{G1036}

But Simon{G4613} Peter,{G4074} when{G1161} he saw{G1492} it, fell down at{G4363} Jesus'{G2424} knees,{G1119} saying,{G3004} Depart{G1831} from{G575} me;{G1700} for{G3754} I am{G1510} a sinful{G268} man,{G435} O Lord.{G2962}

For{G1063} he{G846} was{G4023} amazed,{G2285} and{G2532} all{G3956} that{G3588} were with{G4862} him,{G846} at{G1909} the draught{G61} of the fishes{G2486} which{G3739} they had taken;{G4815}

and{G1161} so{G3668} were also{G2532} James{G2385} and{G2532} John,{G2491} sons{G5207} of Zebedee,{G2199} who{G3739} were{G2258} partners{G2844} with{G3588} Simon.{G4613} And{G2532} Jesus{G2424} said{G2036} unto{G4314} Simon,{G4613} Fear{G5399} not;{G3361} from{G575} henceforth{G3568} thou shalt{G2071} catch{G2221} men.{G444}

And{G2532} when they had brought{G2609} their{G3588} boats{G4143} to{G1909} land,{G1093} they left{G863} all,{G537} and followed{G190} him.{G846}

And{G2532} it came to pass,{G1096} while{G1722} he{G846} was{G1511} in{G1722} one{G1520} of the cities,{G2532} behold,{G2400} a man{G435} full{G4134} of leprosy:{G2532} and when he saw{G1492} Jesus,{G2424} he fell{G4098} on{G1909} his face,{G4383} and besought{G1189} him,{G846} saying,{G3004} Lord,{G2962} if{G1437} thou wilt,{G2309} thou canst{G1410} make{G2511} me{G3165} clean.{G2511}

And{G2532} he stretched forth{G1614} his hand,{G5495} and{G2532} touched{G680} him,{G846} saying,{G2036} I will;{G2309} be thou made clean.{G2511} And{G2532} straightway{G2112} the leprosy{G3014} departed{G565} from{G575} him.{G846}

And{G2532} he{G846} charged{G3853} him{G846} to tell{G2036} no man:{G3367} but{G235} go{G565} thy way, and show{G1166} thyself{G4572} to the priest,{G2409} and{G2532} offer{G4374} for{G4012} thy{G4675} cleansing,{G2512} according as{G2531} Moses{G3475} commanded,{G4367} for{G1519} a testimony{G3142} unto them.{G846}

But{G1161} so much the more{G3123} went{G1330} abroad{G1330} the report{G3056} concerning{G4012} him:{G846} and{G2532} great{G4183} multitudes{G3793} came together{G4905} to hear,{G191} and{G2532} to be healed{G2323} of{G575} their{G846} infirmities.{G769}

But{G1161} he{G2258} withdrew{G5298} himself{G846} in{G1722} the deserts,{G2048} and{G2532} prayed.{G4336}

And{G2532} it came to pass{G1096} on{G1722} one{G1520} of those days,{G2250} that{G2532} he{G846} was{G2258} teaching;{G1321} and{G2532} there were{G2258} Pharisees{G5330} and{G2532} doctors of the law{G3547} sitting by,{G2521} who{G3739} were{G2258} come{G2064} out{G1537} of every{G3956} village{G2968} of Galilee{G1056} and{G2532} Judaea{G2449} and{G2532} Jerusalem:{G2419} and{G2532} the power{G1411} of the Lord{G2962} was{G2258} with him to{G1519} heal.{G2390}

And{G2532} behold,{G2400} men{G435} bring{G5342} on{G1909} a bed{G2825} a man{G444} that was{G2258} palsied:{G3886} and{G2532} they sought{G2212} to bring{G1533} him{G846} in,{G1533} and{G2532} to lay{G5087} him{G846} before{G1799} him.{G846}

And{G2532} not{G3361} finding{G2147} by{G1223} what{G4169} [way] they might bring{G1533} him{G846} in{G1533} because of{G1223} the multitude,{G3793} they went{G305} up to{G1909} the housetop,{G1430} and let{G2524} him{G846} down{G2524} through{G1223} the tiles{G2766} with{G4862} his couch{G2826} into{G1519} the midst{G3319} before{G1715} Jesus.{G2424}

And{G2532} seeing{G1492} their{G846} faith,{G4102} he said,{G2036} Man,{G444} thy{G4675} sins{G266} are forgiven{G863} thee.{G4671}

And{G2532} the scribes{G1122} and{G2532} the Pharisees{G5330} began{G756} to reason,{G1260} saying,{G3004} Who{G5101} is{G2076} this{G3778} that{G3739} speaketh{G2980} blasphemies?{G988} Who{G5101} can{G1410} forgive{G863} sins,{G1487} but{G3361} God{G2316} alone?{G3441}

But{G1161} Jesus{G2424} perceiving{G1921} their{G846} reasonings,{G1261} answered{G611} and said{G2036} unto{G4314} them,{G846} Why{G5101} reason ye{G1260} in{G1722} your{G5216} hearts?{G2588}

Which{G5101} is{G2076} easier,{G2123} to say,{G2036} Thy{G4675} sins{G266} are forgiven{G863} thee;{G4671} or{G2228} to say,{G2036} Arise{G1453} and{G2532} walk?{G4043}

But{G1161} that{G2443} ye may know{G1492} that{G3754} the Son{G5207} of man{G444} hath{G2192} authority{G1849} on{G1909} earth{G1093} to forgive{G863} sins{G266} (he said{G2036} unto him that was palsied),{G3886} I say{G3004} unto thee,{G4671} Arise,{G1453} and{G2532} take up{G142} thy{G4675} couch,{G2826} and go{G4198} unto{G1519} thy{G4675} house.{G3624}

And{G2532} immediately{G3916} he rose up{G450} before{G1799} them,{G846} and took{G142} up{G1909} that{G3739} whereon he lay,{G2621} and departed{G565} to{G1519} his{G846} house,{G3624} glorifying{G1392} God.{G2316}

And{G2532} amazement{G1611} took hold{G2983} on all,{G537} and{G2532} they glorified{G1392} God;{G2316} and{G2532} they were filled{G4130} with fear,{G5401} saying,{G3754} We have seen{G1492} strange things{G3861} to-day.{G4594}

And after{G3326} these things{G5023} he went forth,{G1831} and{G2532} beheld{G2300} a publican,{G5057} named{G3686} Levi,{G3018} sitting{G2521} at{G1909} the place of toll,{G5058} and{G2532} said{G2036} unto him,{G846} Follow{G190} me.{G3427}

And{G2532} he forsook{G2641} all,{G537} and rose up{G450} and followed{G190} him.{G846}

And{G2532} Levi{G3018} made{G4160} him{G846} a great{G3173} feast{G1403} in{G1722} his{G846} house:{G3614} and{G2532} there was{G2258} a great{G4183} multitude{G3793} of publicans{G5057} and{G2532} of others{G243} that{G3739} were{G2258} sitting at meat{G2621} with{G3326} them.{G846}

And{G2532} the Pharisees{G5330} and{G2532} their{G846} scribes{G1122} murmured{G1111} against{G4314} his{G846} disciples,{G3101} saying,{G1223} Why{G5101} do ye eat{G2068} and{G2532} drink{G4095} with{G3326} the publicans{G5057} and{G2532} sinners?{G268}

And{G2532} Jesus{G2424} answering{G611} said{G2036} unto{G4314} them,{G846} They{G3588} that are in health{G5198} have{G2192} no{G3756} need{G5532} of a physician;{G2395} but{G235} they{G3588} that are{G2192} sick.{G2560}

I am not{G3756} come{G2064} to call{G2564} the righteous{G1342} but{G235} sinners{G268} to{G1519} repentance.{G3341}

And they said{G2036} unto{G4314} him,{G1223} The{G5101} disciples{G3101} of John{G2491} fast{G3522} often,{G4437} and{G2532} make{G4160} supplications;{G1162} {G2532} likewise{G3668} also the [disciples] of the Pharisees;{G5330} but{G1161} thine{G4674} eat{G2068} and{G2532} drink.{G4095}

And{G1161} Jesus said{G2036} unto{G4314} them,{G3361} Can ye{G1410} make{G4160} the sons{G5207} of the bride-chamber{G3567} fast,{G3522} while{G1722} the{G3739} bridegroom{G3566} is{G2076} with{G3326} them?{G846}

But{G1161} the days{G2250} will come;{G2532} and when{G3752} the bridegroom{G3566} shall be taken away{G522} from{G575} them,{G846} then{G5119} will they fast{G3522} in{G1722} those{G1565} days.{G2250}

And{G1161} he spake{G3004} also{G2532} a parable{G3850} unto{G4314} them:{G3754} No man{G3762} rendeth{G1911} a piece{G1915} from a new{G2537} garment{G2440} and putteth it upon{G1909} an old{G2440} garment; {G1487} else{G3361} he{G1161} will rend{G4977} the new,{G2537} and{G2532} also{G2532} the piece{G1915} {G575} from{G575} the new{G2537} will not{G3756} agree{G4856} with the old.{G3820}

And{G2532} no man{G3762} putteth{G906} new{G3501} wine{G3631} into{G1519} old{G3820} wine-skins;{G779} else{G1161} the{G3361} new{G3501} wine{G3631} will burst{G4486} the skins,{G779} and{G2532} itself will be spilled,{G1632} and{G2532} the skins{G779} will perish.{G622}

But{G235} new{G3501} wine{G3631} must be put{G992} into{G1519} fresh{G2537} wine-skins.{G779}

And no man{G3762} having{G2532} drunk{G4095} old{G3820} [wine] {G2112} desireth{G2309} new;{G3501} for{G1063} he saith,{G3004} The old{G3820} is{G2076} good.{G5543}
