¹Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that, as^G1722 the people^G3793 pressed upon^G1945^(G5738) him^G846 to hear^G191^(G5721) the word^G3056 of God^G2316,^G2532 he^G846 stood^G2258^(G5713)^G2476^(G5761) by^G3844 the lake^G3041 of Gennesaret^G1082,

² He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.

KJVAnd^G2532 saw^G1492^(G5627) two^G1417 ships^G4143 standing^G2476^(G5761) by^G3844 the lake^G3041: but^G1161 the fishermen^G231 were gone^G576^(G5631) out of^G575 them^G846, and were washing^G637^(G5656) their nets^G1350.

³ He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

KJVAnd^G1161 he entered^G1684^(G5631) into^G1519 one^G1520 of the ships^G4143, which^G3739 was^G2258^(G5713) Simon's^G4613, and prayed^G2065^(G5656) him^G846 that he would thrust out^G1877^(G5629) a little^G3641 from^G575 the land^G1093. And^G2532 he sat down^G2523^(G5660), and taught^G1321^(G5707) the people^G3793 out of^G1537 the ship^G4143.

⁴ When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

KJVNow^G1161 when^G5613 he had left^G3973^(G5668) speaking^G2980^(G5723), he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 Simon^G4613, Launch out^G1877^(G5628) into^G1519 the deep^G899, and^G2532 let down^G5465^(G5657) your^G5216 nets^G1350 for^G1519 a draught^G61.

⁵ Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”

KJVAnd^G2532 Simon^G4613 answering^G611^(G5679) said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Master^G1988, we have toiled^G2872^(G5660) all^G3650^G1223 the night^G3571, and have taken^G2983^(G5627) nothing^G3762: nevertheless^G1161 at^G1909 thy^G4675 word^G4487 I will let down^G5465^(G5692) the net^G1350.

⁶ When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they had^G4160 this^G5124 done^G4160^(G5660), they inclosed^G4788^(G5656) a great^G4183 multitude^G4128 of fishes^G2486: and^G1161 their^G846 net^G1350 brake^G1284^(G5712).

⁷ They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.

KJVAnd^G2532 they beckoned^G2656^(G5656) unto their partners^G3353, which^G3588 were in^G1722 the other^G2087 ship^G4143, that they should come^G2064^(G5631) and help^G4815^(G5641) them^G846. And^G2532 they came^G2064^(G5627), and^G2532 filled^G4130^(G5656) both^G297 the ships^G4143, so^G5620 that they^G846 began to sink^G1036^(G5745).

⁸ But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”

KJVWhen^G1161 Simon^G4613 Peter^G4074 saw^G1492^(G5631) it, he fell down at^G4363^(G5627) Jesus^G2424' knees^G1119, saying^G3004^(G5723), Depart^G1831^(G5628) from^G575 me^G1700; for^G3754 I am^G1510^(G5748) a sinful^G268 man^G435, O Lord^G2962.

⁹ For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;

KJVFor^G1063 he^G846 was astonished^G4023^(G5627)^G2285, and^G2532 all^G3956 that were^G4862 with him^G846, at^G1909 the draught^G61 of the fishes^G2486 which^G3739 they had taken^G4815^(G5627):

¹⁰ and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”

KJVAnd^G1161 so^G3668 was also^G2532 James^G2385, and^G2532 John^G2491, the sons^G5207 of Zebedee^G2199, which^G3739 were^G2258^(G5713) partners^G2844 with Simon^G4613. And^G2532 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 Simon^G4613, Fear^G5399^(G5737) not^G3361; from^G575 henceforth^G3568 thou shalt^G2071^(G5704) catch^G2221^(G5723) men^G444.

¹¹ When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they had brought^G2609^(G5631) their ships^G4143 to^G1909 land^G1093, they forsook^G863^(G5631) all^G537, and followed^G190^(G5656) him^G846.

¹² While he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), when he^G846 was^G1511^(G5750)^G1722 in^G1722 a certain^G3391 city^G4172,^G2532 behold^G2400^(G5628) a man^G435 full^G4134 of leprosy^G3014: who^G2532 seeing^G1492^(G5631) Jesus^G2424 fell^G4098^(G5631) on^G1909 his face^G4383, and besought^G1189^(G5681) him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Lord^G2962, if^G1437 thou wilt^G2309^(G5725), thou canst^G1410^(G5736) make^G2511 me^G3165 clean^G2511^(G5658).

¹³ He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

KJVAnd^G2532 he put forth^G1614^(G5660) his hand^G5495, and touched^G680^(G5662) him^G846, saying^G2036^(G5631), I will^G2309^(G5719): be thou clean^G2511^(G5682). And^G2532 immediately^G2112 the leprosy^G3014 departed^G565^(G5627) from^G575 him^G846.

¹⁴ He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

KJVAnd^G2532 he^G846 charged^G3853^(G5656) him^G846 to tell^G2036^(G5629) no man^G3367: but^G235 go^G565^(G5631), and shew^G1166^(G5657) thyself^G4572 to the priest^G2409, and^G2532 offer^G4374^(G5628) for^G4012 thy^G4675 cleansing^G2512, according as^G2531 Moses^G3475 commanded^G4367^(G5656), for^G1519 a testimony^G3142 unto them^G846.

¹⁵ But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

KJVBut^G1161 so much the more^G3123 went there^G1330 a fame^G3056 abroad^G1330^(G5711) of^G4012 him^G846: and^G2532 great^G4183 multitudes^G3793 came together^G4905^(G5711) to hear^G191^(G5721), and^G2532 to be healed^G2323^(G5745) by^G5259 him^G846 of^G575 their^G846 infirmities^G769.

¹⁶ But he withdrew himself into the desert and prayed.

KJVAnd^G1161 he withdrew^G2258^(G5713)^G5298^(G5723) himself^G846 into^G1722 the wilderness^G2048, and^G2532 prayed^G4336^(G5740).

¹⁷ On one of those days, he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal them.

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633) on^G1722 a certain^G3391 day^G2250, as^G2532 he^G846 was^G2258^(G5713) teaching^G1321^(G5723), that^G2532 there were^G2258^(G5713) Pharisees^G5330 and^G2532 doctors of the law^G3547 sitting by^G2521^(G5740), which^G3739 were^G2258^(G5713) come^G2064^(G5756) out of^G1537 every^G3956 town^G2968 of Galilee^G1056, and^G2532 Judaea^G2449, and^G2532 Jerusalem^G2419: and^G2532 the power^G1411 of the Lord^G2962 was^G2258^(G5713) present to^G1519 heal^G2390^(G5738) them^G846.

¹⁸ Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus.

KJVAnd^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), men^G435 brought^G5342^(G5723) in^G1909 a bed^G2825 a man^G444 which^G3739 was^G2258^(G5713) taken with a palsy^G3886^(G5772): and^G2532 they sought^G2212^(G5707) means to bring^G1533 him^G846 in^G1533^(G5629), and^G2532 to lay^G5087^(G5629) him before^G1799 him^G846.

¹⁹ Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the middle before Jesus.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they could^G2147 not^G3361 find^G2147^(G5631) by^G1223 what^G4169 way they might bring^G1533 him^G846 in^G1533^(G5632) because^G1223 of the multitude^G3793, they went^G305^(G5631) upon^G1909 the housetop^G1430, and let^G2524 him^G846 down^G2524^(G5656) through^G1223 the tiling^G2766 with^G4862 his couch^G2826 into^G1519 the midst^G3319 before^G1715 Jesus^G2424.

²⁰ Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

KJVAnd^G2532 when he saw^G1492^(G5631) their^G846 faith^G4102, he said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Man^G444, thy^G4675 sins^G266 are forgiven^G863^(G5769) thee^G4671.

²¹ The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”

KJVAnd^G2532 the scribes^G1122 and^G2532 the Pharisees^G5330 began^G756^(G5662) to reason^G1260^(G5738), saying^G3004^(G5723), Who^G5101 is^G2076^(G5748) this^G3778 which^G3739 speaketh^G2980^(G5719) blasphemies^G988? Who^G5101 can^G1410^(G5736) forgive^G863^(G5721) sins^G266, but^G1508 God^G2316 alone^G3441?

²² But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?

KJVBut^G1161 when Jesus^G2424 perceived^G1921^(G5631) their^G846 thoughts^G1261, he answering^G611^(G5679) said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, What^G5101 reason ye^G1260^(G5736) in^G1722 your^G5216 hearts^G2588?

²³ Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?

KJVWhether^G5101 is^G2076^(G5748) easier^G2123, to say^G2036^(G5629), Thy^G4675 sins^G266 be forgiven^G863^(G5769) thee^G4671; or^G2228 to say^G2036^(G5629), Rise up^G1453^(G5669) and^G2532 walk^G4043^(G5720)?

²⁴ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, arise, take up your cot, and go to your house.”

KJVBut^G1161 that^G2443 ye may know^G1492^(G5762) that^G3754 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 hath^G2192^(G5719) power^G1849 upon^G1909 earth^G1093 to forgive^G863^(G5721) sins^G266,(he^G266 said^G2036^(G5627) unto the sick of the palsy^G3886^(G5772),) I say^G3004^(G5719) unto thee^G4671, Arise^G1453^(G5669), and^G2532 take up^G142^(G5660) thy^G4675 couch^G2826, and go^G4198^(G5737) into^G1519 thine^G4675 house^G3624.

²⁵ Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.

KJVAnd^G2532 immediately^G3916 he rose up^G450^(G5631) before^G1799 them^G846, and took up^G142^(G5660) that whereon^G1909^G3739 he lay^G2621^(G5711), and departed^G565^(G5627) to^G1519 his own^G846 house^G3624, glorifying^G1392^(G5723) God^G2316.

²⁶ Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”

KJVAnd^G2532 they were^G2983^(G5627) all^G537 amazed^G1611, and^G2532 they glorified^G1392^(G5707) God^G2316, and^G2532 were filled^G4130^(G5681) with fear^G5401, saying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 We have seen^G1492^(G5627) strange things^G3861 to day^G4594.

²⁷ After these things he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”

KJVAnd^G2532 after^G3326 these things^G5023 he went forth^G1831^(G5627), and^G2532 saw^G2300^(G5662) a publican^G5057, named^G3686 Levi^G3018, sitting^G2521^(G5740) at^G1909 the receipt of custom^G5058: and^G2532 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Follow^G190^(G5720) me^G3427.

²⁸ He left everything, and rose up and followed him.

KJVAnd^G2532 he left^G2641^(G5631) all^G537, rose up^G450^(G5631), and followed^G190^(G5656) him^G846.

²⁹ Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.

KJVAnd^G2532 Levi^G3018 made^G4160^(G5656) him^G846 a great^G3173 feast^G1403 in^G1722 his own^G846 house^G3614: and^G2532 there was^G2258^(G5713) a great^G4183 company^G3793 of publicans^G5057 and^G2532 of others^G243 that^G3739 sat down^G2258^(G5713)^G2621^(G5740) with^G3326 them^G846.

³⁰ Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”

KJVBut^G2532 their^G846 scribes^G1122 and^G2532 Pharisees^G5330 murmured^G1111^(G5707) against^G4314 his^G846 disciples^G3101, saying^G3004^(G5723), Why^G1302 do ye eat^G2068^(G5719) and^G2532 drink^G4095^(G5719) with^G3326 publicans^G5057 and^G2532 sinners^G268?

³¹ Jesus answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 answering^G611^(G5679) said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, They that are whole^G5198^(G5723) need^G5532^G2192^(G5719) not^G3756 a physician^G2395; but^G235 they that are^G2192^(G5723) sick^G2560.

³² I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

KJVI came^G2064^(G5754) not^G3756 to call^G2564^(G5658) the righteous^G1342, but^G235 sinners^G268 to^G1519 repentance^G3341.

³³ They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?”

KJVAnd^G1161 they said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, Why^G1302 do^G3522 the disciples^G3101 of John^G2491 fast^G3522^(G5719) often^G4437, and^G2532 make^G4160^(G5731) prayers^G1162, and^G2532 likewise^G3668 the disciples^G3588 of the Pharisees^G5330; but^G1161 thine^G4674 eat^G2068^(G5719) and^G2532 drink^G4095^(G5719)?

³⁴ He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846,^G3361 Can ye^G1410^(G5736) make^G4160^(G5658) the children^G5207 of the bridechamber^G3567 fast^G3522^(G5721), while^G3739^G1722 the bridegroom^G3566 is^G2076^(G5748) with^G3326 them^G846?

³⁵ But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.”

KJVBut^G1161 the days^G2250 will come^G2064^(G5695), when^G3752^G2532 the bridegroom^G3566 shall be taken away^G522^(G5686) from^G575 them^G846, and then^G5119 shall they fast^G3522^(G5692) in^G1722 those^G1565 days^G2250.

³⁶ He also told a parable to them. “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match the old.

KJVAnd^G1161 he spake^G3004^(G5707) also^G2532 a parable^G3850 unto^G4314 them^G846;^G3754 No man^G3762 putteth^G1911^(G5719) a piece^G1915 of a new^G2537 garment^G2440 upon^G1909 an old^G2440^G3820; if otherwise, then^G1490 both^G2532 the new^G2537 maketh a rent^G4977^(G5719), and^G2532 the piece^G1915 that was taken out of^G575 the new^G2537 agreeth^G4856^(G5719) not^G3756 with the old^G3820.

³⁷ No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled and the skins will be destroyed.

KJVAnd^G2532 no man^G3762 putteth^G906^(G5719) new^G3501 wine^G3631 into^G1519 old^G3820 bottles^G779; else^G1490 the new^G3501 wine^G3631 will burst^G4486^(G5692) the bottles^G779, and^G2532^G846 be spilled^G1632^(G5701), and^G2532 the bottles^G779 shall perish^G622^(G5698).

³⁸ But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.

KJVBut^G235 new^G3501 wine^G3631 must be put^G992 into^G1519 new^G2537 bottles^G779; and^G2532 both^G297 are preserved^G4933^(G5743).

³⁹ No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”

KJVNo man^G3762 also^G2532 having drunk^G4095^(G5631) old^G3820 wine straightway^G2112 desireth^G2309^(G5719) new^G3501: for^G1063 he saith^G3004^(G5719), The old^G3820 is^G2076^(G5748) better^G5543.

¹Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424 being full^G4134 of the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 returned^G5290^(G5656) from^G575 Jordan^G2446, and^G2532 was led^G71^(G5712) by^G1722 the Spirit^G4151 into^G1519 the wilderness^G2048,

² for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.

KJVBeing^G3985 forty^G5062 days^G2250 tempted^G3985^(G5746) of^G5259 the devil^G1228. And^G2532 in^G1722 those^G1565 days^G2250 he did eat^G5315^(G5627) nothing^G3756^G3762: and^G2532 when they^G846 were ended^G4931^(G5685), he afterward^G5305 hungered^G3983^(G5656).

³ The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
