1 무리가 옹위하여 하나님의 말씀을 들을새 예수는 게네사렛 호숫가에 서서
2 호숫가에 두 배가 있는 것을 보시니 어부들은 배에서 나와서 그물을 씻는지라
3 예수께서 한 배에 오르시니 그 배는 시몬의 배라 육지에서 조금 떼기를 청하시고 앉으사 배에서 무리를 가르치시더니
4 말씀을 마치시고 시몬에게 이르시되 `깊은 데로 가서 그물을 내려 고기를 잡으라'
5 시몬이 대답하여 가로되 `선생이여, 우리들이 밤이 맞도록 수고를 하였으되 얻은 것이 없지마는 말씀에 의지하여 내가 그물을 내리리이다' 하고
6 그리한즉 고기를 에운 것이 심히 많아 그물이 찢어지는지라
7 이에 다른 배에 있는 동무를 손짓하여 와서 도와 달라 하니 저희가 와서 두 배에 채우매 잠기게 되었더라
8 시몬 베드로가 이를 보고 예수의 무릎 아래 엎드려 가로되 `주여 나를 떠나소서 나는 죄인이로소이다' 하니
9 이는 자기와 및 함께 있는 모든 사람이 고기 잡힌 것을 인하여 놀라고
10 세베대의 아들로서 시몬의 동업자인 야고보와 요한도 놀랐음이라 예수께서 시몬에게 일러 가라사대 `무서워 말라 이제 후로는 네가 사람을 취하리라' 하시니
11 저희가 배들을 육지에 대고 모든 것을 버려두고 예수를 좇으니라
12 예수께서 한 동네에 계실 때에 온 몸에 문둥병 들린 사람이 있어 예수를 보고 엎드려 구하여 가로되 `주여 원하시면 나를 깨끗케 하실 수 있나이다' 하니
13 예수께서 손을 내밀어 저에게 대시며 가라사대 `내가 원하노니 깨끗함을 받으라 !' 하신대 문둥병이 곧 떠나니라
14 예수께서 저를 경계하시되 `아무에게도 이르지 말고 가서 제사장에게 네 몸을 보이고 또 네 깨끗케 됨을 인하여 모세의 명한 대로 예물을 드려 저희에게 증거하라' 하셨더니
15 예수의 소문이 더욱 퍼지매 허다한 무리가 말씀도 듣고 자기 병도 나음을 얻고자 하여 모여 오되
16 예수는 물러가사 한적한 곳에서 기도하시니라
17 하루는 가르치실 때에 갈릴리 각 촌과 유대와 예루살렘에서 나온 바리새인과 교법사들이 앉았는데 병을 고치는 주의 능력이 예수와 함께 하더라
18 한 중풍병자를 사람들이 침상에 메고 와서 예수 앞에 들여 놓고자 하였으나
19 무리 때문에 메고 들어갈 길을 얻지 못한지라 지붕에 올라가 기와를 벗기고 병자를 침상채 무리 가운데로 예수 앞에 달아 내리니
20 예수께서 저희 믿음을 보시고 이르시되 `이 사람아 네 죄 사함을 받았느니라' 하시니
21 서기관과 바리새인들이 의논하여 가로되 `이 참람한 말을 하는 자가 누구뇨 ? 오직 하나님 외에 누가 능히 죄를 사하겠느냐 ?'
22 예수께서 그 의논을 아시고 대답하여 가라사대 `너희 마음에 무슨 의논을 하느냐 ?'
23 제 죄 사함을 받았느니라 하는 말과 일어나 걸어 가라 하는 말이 어느 것이 쉽겠느냐 ?
24 그러나 인자가 땅에서 죄를 사하는 권세가 있는 줄을 너희로 알게 하리라' 하시고 중풍병자에게 말씀하시되 `내가 네게 이르노니 일어나 네 침상을 가지고 집으로 가라' 하시매
25 그 사람이 저희 앞에서 곧 일어나 누웠던 것을 가지고 하나님께 영광을 돌리며 자기 집으로 돌아가니
26 모든 사람이 놀라 하나님께 영광을 돌리며 심히 두려워하여 가로되 오늘날 우리가 기이한 일을 보았다 하니라
27 그 후에 나가사 레위라 하는 세리가 세관에 앉은 것을 보시고 `나를 좇으라 !' 하시니
28 저가 모든 것을 버리고 일어나 좇으니라
29 레위가 예수를 위하여 자기 집에서 큰 잔치를 하니 세리와 다른 사람이 많이 함께 앉았는지라
30 바리새인과 저희 서기관들이 그 제자들을 비방하여 가로되 `너희가 어찌하여 세리와 죄인과 함께 먹고 마시느냐 ?'
31 예수께서 대답하여 가라사대 `건강한 자에게는 의원이 쓸데없고 병든자에게라야 쓸데 있나니
32 내가 의인을 부르러 온 것이 아니요 죄인을 불러 회개시키러 왔노라'
33 저희가 예수께 말하되 `요한의 제자는 자주 금식하며 기도하고 바리새인의 제자들도 또한 그리하되 당신의 제자들은 먹고 마시나이다'
34 예수께서 저희에게 이르시되 `혼인집 손님들이 신랑과 함께 있을 때에 너희가 그 손님으로 금식하게 할 수 있느뇨 ?
35 그러나 그 날에 이르러 저희가 신랑을 빼앗기리니 그 날에는 금식할 것이니라'
36 또 비유하여 이르시되 `새 옷에서 한 조각을 찢어 낡은 옷에 붙이는 자가 없나니 만일 그렇게 하면 새 옷을 찢을 뿐이요 또 새 옷에서 찢은 조각이 낡은 것에 합하지 아니하리라
37 새 포도주를 낡은 가죽 부대에 넣는 자가 없나니 만일 그렇게 하면 새 포도주가 부대를 터뜨려 포도주가 쏟아지고 부대도 버리게 되리라
38 새 포도주는 새 부대에 넣어야 할 것이니라
39 묵은 포도주를 마시고 새 것을 원하는 자가 없나니 이는 묵은 것이 좋다 함이니라'
1 Now it came about that while the people came pushing to be near him, and to have knowledge of the word of God, he was by a wide stretch of water named Gennesaret;
2 And he saw two boats by the edge of the water, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3 And he got into one of the boats, the property of Simon, and made a request to him to go a little way out from the land. And being seated he gave the people teaching from the boat.
4 And when his talk was ended, he said to Simon, Go out into deep water, and let down your nets for fish.
5 And Simon, answering, said, Master, we were working all night and we took nothing: but at your word I will let down the nets.
6 And when they had done this, they got such a great number of fish that it seemed as if their nets would be broken;
7 And they made signs to their friends in the other boat to come to their help. And they came, and the two boats were so full that they were going down.
8 But Simon, when he saw it, went down at the knees of Jesus and said, Go away from me, O Lord, for I am a sinner.
9 For he was full of wonder and so were all those who were with him, at the number of fish which they had taken;
10 And so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were working with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from this time forward you will be a fisher of men.
11 And when they had got their boats to the land, they gave up everything and went after him.
12 And it came about that while he was in one of the towns, there was a leper there: and when he saw Jesus he went down on his face in prayer to him, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.
13 And he put out his hand to him and said, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away his disease went from him.
14 And he gave him orders: Say nothing to any man, but let the priest see you and give an offering so that you may be made clean, as the law of Moses says, and for a witness to them.
15 But news of him went out all the more, in every direction, and great numbers of people came together to give hearing to his words and to be made well from their diseases.
16 But he went away by himself to a waste place for prayer.
17 And it came about that on one of these days he was teaching; and some Pharisees and teachers of the law were seated there, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him, to make those who were ill free from their diseases.
18 And some men had with them, on a bed, a man who was ill, without power of moving; and they made attempts to get him in and put him before Jesus.
19 And because of the mass of people, there was no way to get him in; so they went up on the top of the house and let him down through the roof, on his bed, into the middle in front of Jesus.
20 And seeing their faith he said, Man, you have forgiveness for your sins.
21 And the scribes and Pharisees were having an argument, saying, Who is this, who has no respect for God? who is able to give forgiveness for sins, but God only?
22 But Jesus, who had knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning in your hearts?
23 Which is the simpler: to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?
24 But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (he said to the man who was ill,) I say to you, Get up, and take up your bed, and go into your house.
25 And straight away he got up before them, and took up his bed and went away to his house giving praise to God.
26 And wonder overcame them all, and they gave glory to God; and they were full of fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.
27 And after these things he went out, and saw Levi, a tax-farmer, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and said to him, Come after me.
28 And giving up his business, he got up and went after him.
29 And Levi made a great feast for him in his house: and a great number of tax-farmers and others were seated at table with them.
30 And the Pharisees and their scribes made protests against his disciples, saying, Why do you take food and drink with tax-farmers and sinners?
31 And Jesus, answering, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.
32 I have come, not to get the upright, but sinners, so that they may be turned from their sins.
33 And they said to him, The disciples of John frequently go without food, and make prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees; but your disciples take food and drink.
34 And Jesus said, Are you able to make the friends of the newly-married man go without food when he is with them?
35 But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then they will go without food.
36 And he said to them, in a story, No man takes a bit of cloth from a new coat and puts it on to an old coat, for so the new coat would be damaged and the bit from the new would not go well with the old.
37 And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins, for fear that the skins will be burst by the new wine, and the wine be let out, and the skins come to destruction.
38 But new wine has to be put into new wine-skins.
39 And no man, having had old wine, has any desire for new, for he says, The old is better.
