1 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, 2 And saw two ships stand­ing by the lake: but the fish­er­men were gone out of them, and were wash­ing their nets. 3 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. 4 Now when he had left speak­ing, he said unto Si­mon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 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. 6 And when they had this done, they in­closed a great mul­ti­tude of fish­es: and their net brake. 7 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. 8 When Si­mon Pe­ter saw it, he fell down at Je­sus' knees, say­ing, De­part from me; for I am a sin­ful man, O Lord. 9 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.
