Lucas 5
Men det skete, da Folkeskaren trængte sig sammen om ham og hørte Guds Ord, og han stod ved Genezareths Sø,
da så han to Skibe stå ved Søen; men Fiskerne vare gåede fra dem og toede Garnene.
Og han gik om Bord i et af Skibene, som var Simons, og bad ham at lægge lidt fra Land; og han satte sig og lærte Skarerne fra Skibet.
Og da de gjorde det, fangede de en stor Mængde Fisk, og deres Garn sønderreves.
Og de vinkede ad deres Staldbrødre i det andet Skib, at de skulde komme og hjælpe dem; og de kom og de fyldte begge Skibene, så at de var nær ved at synke.
Thi en Rædsel var påkommen ham og alle dem, som vare med ham, over den Fiskedræt, som de havde fået;
Og de lagde Skibene til Land og forlode alle Ting og fulgte ham.
Men Rygtet om ham udbredte sig end mere, og store Skarer kom sammen for at høre og for at helbredes for deres Sygdomme.
Men han gik bort til Ørkenerne og bad.
Og det skete en af de Dage, at han lærte, og der sad Farisæere og Lovlærere, som vare komne fra enhver Landsby i Galilæa og Judæa og fra Jerusalem; og Herrens Kraft var hos ham til at helbrede.
Og se, nogle Mænd bare på en Seng en Mand, som var værkbruden, og de søgte at bære ham ind og lægge ham foran ham.
Og da de ikke fandt nogen Vej til at bære ham ind for Skarens Skyld, stege de op oven på Taget og firede ham tillige med Sengen ned imellem Tagstenene midt iblandt dem foran Jesus.
Hvilket er lettest at sige: Dine Synder ere dig forladte? eller at sige: Stå op og gå?
Og han stod straks op for deres Øjne og tog det, som han lå på, og gik hen til sit Hus og priste Gud.
Og han forlod alle Ting og stod op og fulgte ham.
Og Levi gjorde et stort Gæstebud for ham i sit Hus; og der var en stor Skare af Toldere og andre, som sade til Bords med dem.
Og ingen kommer ung Vin på gammle Læderflasker; ellers sprænger den unge Vin Læderflaskerne, og den spildes, og Læderflaskerne ødelægges.
Men man skal komme ung Vin på nye Læderflasker, så blive de begge bevarede.
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,
And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing {their} nets.
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.
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
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.
And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
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.
When Simon Peter saw {it}, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
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.
And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
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.
And he put forth {his} hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
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.
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.
And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
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.
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.
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.
And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
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.
And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
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.
And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
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.
But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
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?
And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
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.
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.
But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
No man also having drunk old {wine} straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
