CHAP. V. / 1 Christ teacheth the people out of Peters ship. 4 In a miraculous taking of fishes, sheweth how he wil make him and his partners fishers of men: 12 cleanseth the leper: 16 Prayeth in the w

1And it came to passe, that as the people preassed vpon him to heare the word of God, hee stood by the lake of Genesareth,Select Luke 5:1

2And sawe two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.Select Luke 5:2

3And he entred into one of the ships, which was Simons, and prayed him, that he would thrust out a little from the land: and he sate downe, and taught the people out of the ship.Select Luke 5:3

4Now when he had left speaking, he said vnto Simon, Lanch out into the deepe, and let downe your nets for a draught.Select Luke 5:4

5And Simon answering, said vnto him, Master, wee haue toiled all the night, and haue taken nothing: neuerthelesse at thy word I will let downe the net.Select Luke 5:5

6And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net brake:Select Luke 5:6

7And they beckened vnto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and helpe them. And they came, & filled both the ships, so that they began to sinke.Select Luke 5:7

8When Simon Peter saw it, he fell downe at Iesus knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinfull man, O Lord.Select Luke 5:8

9For he was astonished, and al that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken.Select Luke 5:9

10And so was also Iames, and Iohn the sonnes of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Iesus said vnto Simon, Feare not, from henceforth thou shalt catch men.Select Luke 5:10

11And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsooke all, and followed him.Select Luke 5:11

12And it came to passe, when he was in a certaine citie, behold a man full of leprosie: who seeing Iesus, fell on his face, & besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me cleane.Select Luke 5:12

13And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I wil: be thou cleane. And immediatly the leprosie departed from him.Select Luke 5:13

14And hee charged him to tell no man: but, Goe, and shewe thy selfe to the Priest, and offer for thy clensing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimonie vnto them.Select Luke 5:14

15But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him, and great multitudes came together to heare, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.Select Luke 5:15

16And he withdrew himselfe into the wildernesse, and prayed.Select Luke 5:16

17And it came to passe on a certaine day, as hee was teaching, that there were Pharisees and Doctours of the Law sitting by, which were come out of euery towne of Galilee, and Iudea, and Hierusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heale them.Select Luke 5:17

18And behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsie: and they sought meanes to bring him in, and to lay him before him.Select Luke 5:18

19And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went vpon the house top, & let him downe through the tiling with his couch, into the midst before Iesus.Select Luke 5:19

20And when he saw their faith, hee said vnto him, Man, thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.Select Luke 5:20

21And the Scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgiue sinnes, but God alone?Select Luke 5:21

22But when Iesus perceiued their thoughts, he answering, saide vnto them, What reason ye in your hearts?Select Luke 5:22

23Whether is easier to say, Thy sinnes be forgiuen thee: or to say, Rise vp and walke?Select Luke 5:23

24But that ye may know that the Sonne of man hath power vpon earth to forgiue sinnes (he said vnto the sicke of the palsie,) I say vnto thee, Arise, and take vp thy couch, and go into thine house.Select Luke 5:24

25And immediatly he rose vp before them, and tooke vp that whereon hee lay, and departed to his owne house, glorifying God.Select Luke 5:25

26And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with feare, saying, Wee haue seene strange things to day.Select Luke 5:26

27And after these things hee went foorth, and sawe a Publicane, named Leui, sitting at the receit of custome: and hee said vnto him, Follow me.Select Luke 5:27

28And he left all, rose vp, and followed him.Select Luke 5:28

29And Leui made him a great feast in his owne house: and there was a great company of Publicanes, and of others that sate downe with them.Select Luke 5:29

30But their Scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why doe ye eate and drinke with Publicanes and sinners?Select Luke 5:30

31And Iesus answering, said vnto them, They that are whole need not a physician: but they that are sicke.Select Luke 5:31

32I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.Select Luke 5:32

33And they said vnto him, Why doe the disciples of Iohn fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees: but thine eat and drinke?Select Luke 5:33

34And he said vnto them, Can yee make the children of the Bride-chamber fast, while the Bridegrome is with them?Select Luke 5:34

35But the dayes will come, when the Bridegrome shall bee taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those dayes.Select Luke 5:35

36And he spake also a parable vnto them, No man putteth a piece of a newe garment vpon an olde: if otherwise, then both the newe maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new, agreeth not with the olde.Select Luke 5:36

37And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.Select Luke 5:37

38But newe wine must be put into newe bottles, and both are preserued.Select Luke 5:38

39No man also hauing drunke olde wine, straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.Select Luke 5:39
