005:001

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

005:002

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

005:003

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

005:004

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

005:005

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

005:006

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

005:007

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

005:008

For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken

005:009

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

005:010

And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him

005:011

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

005:012

And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him

005:013

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

005:014

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

005:015

And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed

005:016

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

005:017

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

005:018

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

005:019

And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee

005:020

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone

005:021

But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts

005:022

Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk

005:023

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

005:024

And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God

005:025

And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day

005:026

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

005:027

And he left all, rose up, and followed him

005:028

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

005:029

But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners

005:030

And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick

005:031

I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance

005:032

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

005:033

And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them

005:034

But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days

005:035

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

005:036

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

005:037

But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved

005:038

No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better
