RF LUK 5:1 The Obedient Fisherman.
It once occurred that, while He was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the crowd pressed around Him, in order to listen to the message of God.
RF LUK 5:2 And He observed two boats lying at anchor at the lake side; but the fishermen had left them, and were washing their nets:
RF LUK 5:3 so entering one of the boats which belonged to Simon, He asked him to push off a little from the land. And, sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.
RF LUK 5:4 Then when He had finished speaking, He said to Simon: "Row out into the depth, and throw out your nets for a haul."
RF LUK 5:5 "We have toiled all the night, Sir, and have taken nothing," said Simon, in reply; "but at Your request I will lower the nets."
RF LUK 5:6 And, having done so, they enclosed a large shoal of fishes; and their nets were beginning to break:
RF LUK 5:7 they therefore beckoned to their partners in the other boats to come and help them; and, having come, they filled both the boats, almost to sinking.
RF LUK 5:8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell at the knees of Jesus, exclaiming: "Go from me, Master; for I am a sinful man!"
RF LUK 5:9 For astonishment had seized him, and all who were with him—
RF LUK 5:10 and James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon—at the draught of fishes they had taken. Jesus, however; said to Simon: "Do not fear; from this time you will be a catcher of men!"
RF LUK 5:11 Then having run their boats ashore, they left all, and followed Him.
RF LUK 5:12 Curing A Leper.
It once happened, when He was in one of the towns, that a man, full of leprosy, seeing Jesus, fell upon his face, and implored Him, saying: "Master, if You will, You are able to cure me!"
RF LUK 5:13 And, extending His hand, He touched him, saying; "I am willing; be cured!" and the leprosy left him at once.
RF LUK 5:14 Then He enjoined him to tell no one; but, "go, show yourself to the priest, and present for your cleansing what was ordered by Moses as an evidence to them."
RF LUK 5:15 But the report concerning Him spread more widely; and large crowds ran together to listen, and to be relieved of their sufferings.
RF LUK 5:16 But He Himself retired into the desert to pray.
RF LUK 5:17 Curing the Paralytic.
One of those days, while He was teaching, it happened that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of several villages of Galilee and Judea, as well as from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was in Him to cure sickness;
RF LUK 5:18 when some men came carrying a paralyzed man upon a rug, and they tried to get near, to place him before Him.
RF LUK 5:19 But being unable to find a means of approaching Him, on account of the crowd, they mounted the verandah, and lowered him upon his rug through the skylight, into the midst, before Jesus;
RF LUK 5:20 Who, seeing their faith, said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven you!"
RF LUK 5:21 But the professors and Pharisees began to discuss it, remarking: "Who is this fellow that talks blasphemy? who is able to forgive sins, but God alone?"
RF LUK 5:22 Jesus, perceiving their reasoning's, however, answered: "Why do you debate in your hearts?
RF LUK 5:23 Which is easier to say?—'Your sins are removed from you'; or, 'Rise up, and walk!'
RF LUK 5:24 In order that you may know, however, that the Son of Man has authority to remove sins upon earth (He said to the paralytic), 'To you, I say, get up; take your rug, and go to your own home!'"
RF LUK 5:25 And he immediately got up in their presence, lifted what he had been lying upon, and went to his home, praising God. And they were all overcome with ecstasy, and they praised God;
RF LUK 5:26 and being filled with fear, they exclaimed, "We have seen strange things to-day."
RF LUK 5:27 At Levi's Reception.
After this, He went out and observed a tax-farmer, named Levi, sitting at the custom-house; and said to him, "Follow Me!"
RF LUK 5:28 And leaving all, he got up and followed Him.
RF LUK 5:29 Then Levi prepared a large reception at his own house; and a great company of tax-farmers and others were reclining together with Him.
RF LUK 5:30 But the professors grumbled about them; and the Pharisees said to His disciples, "Why does He eat and drink among these tax-farmers and sinners?"
RF LUK 5:31 Jesus, in reply, said to them, "The healthy have no need of a physician, but the sick have!
RF LUK 5:32 I have come not to call the righteous, but sinners to change their minds!"
RF LUK 5:33 They then said to Him: "The disciples of John, and of the Pharisees, frequently fast and pray; but Yours eat and drink!"
RF LUK 5:34 "Are the companions of the Bridegroom to fast while the Bridegroom is with them?" asked Jesus, in reply.
RF LUK 5:35 "The days will come, however, when the Bridegroom has been taken from them; in those days they can fast."
RF LUK 5:36 He also related a parable to them: "No one tears from a new piece to patch an old garment; and if he does, he will not only tear the new, but the patch will not agree with the old.
RF LUK 5:37 And no one pours new wine into old wine-skins; for if he did, the new wine would burst the skins, and the wine be spilled, and the skins destroyed.—
RF LUK 5:38 On the contrary, new wine must be stored in fresh wine-skins; and both are preserved.
RF LUK 5:39 But no man drinking old wine longs at once for new; for he says, 'The old is better.'
