Luke 5

1
Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the word of God, He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;
2
and He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
3
And He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little way from the land. And He sat down and began teaching the people from the boat.
4
When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.'
5
Simon answered and said, " Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as You say and let down the nets.
6
When they had done this, they enclosed a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to break;
7
so they signaled to their partners in the other boat for them to come and help them. And they came and filled both of the boats, so that they began to sink.
8
But when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus' feet, saying, "Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!'
9
For amazement had seized him and all his companions because of the catch of fish which they had taken;
10
and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, " Do not fear, from now on you will be catching men.'
11
When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.
12
While He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man covered with leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.'
13
And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed.' And immediately the leprosy left him.
14
And He ordered him to tell no one, "But go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.'
15
But the news about Him was spreading even farther, and large crowds were gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
16
But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.
17
One day He was teaching; and there were some Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing.
18
And some men were carrying on a bed a man who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of Him.
19
But not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus.
20
Seeing their faith, He said, " Friend, your sins are forgiven you.'
21
The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, " Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?'
22
But Jesus, aware of their reasonings, answered and said to them, "Why are you reasoning in your hearts?
23
"Which is easier, to say, "Your sins have been forgiven you,' or to say, "Get up and walk'?
24
"But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,'He said to the paralytic"I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher and go home.'
25
Immediately he got up before them, and picked up what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.
26
They were all struck with astonishment and began glorifying God; and they were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today.'
27
After that He went out and noticed a tax collector named Levi sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, "Follow Me.'
28
And he left everything behind, and got up and began to follow Him.
29
And Levi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a great crowd of tax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them.
30
The Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling at His disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?'
31
And Jesus answered and said to them, " It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick.
32
"I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.'
33
And they said to Him, " The disciples of John often fast and offer prayers, the disciples of the Pharisees also do the same, but Yours eat and drink.'
34
And Jesus said to them, "You cannot make the attendants of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you?
35
" But the days will come; and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.'
36
And He was also telling them a parable: "No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.
37
"And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined.
38
"But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
39
"And no one, after drinking old wine wishes for new; for he says, "The old is good enough.' 6

Luke 6

1
Now it happened that He was passing through some grainfields on a Sabbath; and His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating the grain.
2
But some of the Pharisees said, "Why do you do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?'
3
And Jesus answering them said, "Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,
4
how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the consecrated bread which is not lawful for any to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?'
5
And He was saying to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.'
6
On another Sabbath He entered the synagogue and was teaching; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
7
The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him.
8
But He knew what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, "Get up and come forward!' And he got up and came forward.
9
And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?'
10
After looking around at them all, He said to him, "Stretch out your hand!' And he did so; and his hand was restored.
11
But they themselves were filled with rage, and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.
12
It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God.
13
And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles:
14
Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;
15
and Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot;
16
Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
17
Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon,
18
who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured.
19
And all the people were trying to touch Him, for power was coming from Him and healing them all.
20
And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, " Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21
"Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.
22
" Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.
23
"Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.
24
"But woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your comfort in full.
25
"Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
26
"Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.
27
"But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29
" Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.
30
"Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.
31
" Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.
32
" If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33
"If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
34
" If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.
35
"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
36
" Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
37
" Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.
38
"Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measurepressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.'
39
And He also spoke a parable to them: " A blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40
" A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.
41
"Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
42
"Or how can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.
43
" For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit.
44
" For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.
45
" The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.
46
" Why do you call Me, "Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
47
" Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like:
48
he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
49
"But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.' 7
