WEB·Luke 6

¹Now on the second Sabbath after the first, he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate, rubbing them in their hands.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633) on^G1722 the second^G1207 sabbath^G4521 after the first^G1207, that he^G846 went^G1279^(G5738) through^G1223 the corn fields^G4702; and^G2532 his^G846 disciples^G3101 plucked^G5089^(G5707) the ears of corn^G4719, and^G2532 did eat^G2068^(G5707), rubbing^G5597^(G5723) them in their hands^G5495.

² But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”

KJVAnd^G1161 certain^G5100 of the Pharisees^G5330 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Why^G5101 do ye^G4160^(G5719) that which^G3739 is^G1832 not^G3756 lawful^G1832^(G5748) to do^G4160^(G5721) on^G1722 the sabbath days^G4521?

³ Jesus, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 answering^G611^(G5679) them^G4314^G846 said^G2036^(G5627), Have ye^G314 not^G3761 read^G314^(G5627) so much as^G3761 this^G5124, what^G3739 David^G1138 did^G4160^(G5656), when^G3698 himself^G846 was an hungred^G3983^(G5656), and^G2532 they which^G3588 were^G5607^(G5752) with^G3326 him^G846;

⁴ how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?”

KJVHow^G5613 he went^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 the house^G3624 of God^G2316, and^G2532 did take^G2983^(G5627) and^G2532 eat^G5315^(G5627) the shewbread^G740^G4286, and^G2532 gave^G1325^(G5656) also^G2532 to them that were with^G3326 him^G846; which^G3739 it is^G1832 not^G3756 lawful^G1832^(G5748) to eat^G5315^(G5629) but for^G1508 the priests^G2409 alone^G3441?

⁵ He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G3004^(G5707) unto them^G846, That^G3754 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 is^G2076^(G5748) Lord^G2962 also^G2532 of the sabbath^G4521.

⁶ It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633) also^G2532 on^G1722 another^G2087 sabbath^G4521, that he^G846 entered^G1525^(G5629) into^G1519 the synagogue^G4864 and^G2532 taught^G1321^(G5721): and^G2532 there^G1563 was^G2258^(G5713) a man^G444 whose^G2532^G846 right^G1188 hand^G5495 was^G2258^(G5713) withered^G3584.

⁷ The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.

KJVAnd^G1161 the scribes^G1122 and^G2532 Pharisees^G5330 watched^G3906^(G5707) him^G846, whether^G1487 he would heal^G2323^(G5692) on^G1722 the sabbath day^G4521; that^G2443 they might find^G2147^(G5632) an accusation^G2724 against him^G846.

⁸ But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood.

KJVBut^G1161 he^G846 knew^G1492^(G5715) their^G846 thoughts^G1261, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) to the man^G444 which^G3588 had^G2192^(G5723) the withered^G3584 hand^G5495, Rise up^G1453^(G5669), and^G2532 stand forth^G2476^(G5628) in^G1519 the midst^G3319. And^G1161 he arose^G450^(G5631) and stood forth^G2476^(G5627).

⁹ Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”

KJVThen^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) Jesus^G2424 unto^G4314 them^G846, I will ask^G1905^(G5692) you^G5209 one thing^G5101; Is it lawful^G1832^(G5748) on the sabbath days^G4521 to do good^G15^(G5658), or^G2228 to do evil^G2554^(G5658)? to save^G4982^(G5658) life^G5590, or^G2228 to destroy^G622^(G5658) it?

¹⁰ He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

KJVAnd^G2532 looking round about upon^G4017^(G5671) them^G846 all^G3956, he said^G2036^(G5627) unto the man^G444, Stretch forth^G1614^(G5657) thy^G4675 hand^G5495. And^G1161 he did^G4160^(G5656) so^G3779: and^G2532 his^G846 hand^G5495 was restored^G600^(G5681) whole^G5199 as^G5613 the other^G243.

¹¹ But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

KJVAnd^G1161 they^G846 were filled^G4130^(G5681) with madness^G454; and^G2532 communed^G1255^(G5707) one with another^G4314^G240 what^G5101^G302 they might do^G4160^(G5659) to Jesus^G2424.

¹² In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633) in^G1722 those^G5025 days^G2250, that he went out^G1831^(G5627) into^G1519 a mountain^G3735 to pray^G4336^(G5664), and^G2532 continued all night^G1273^(G5723)^G2258^(G5713) in^G1722 prayer^G4335 to God^G2316.

¹³ When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

KJVAnd^G2532 when^G3753 it was^G1096^(G5633) day^G2250, he called^G4377^(G5656) unto him his^G846 disciples^G3101: and^G2532 of^G575 them^G846 he chose^G1586^(G5671) twelve^G1427, whom^G3739 also^G2532 he named^G3687^(G5656) apostles^G652;

¹⁴ Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

KJVSimon^G4613,(whom^G3739 he also^G2532 named^G3687^(G5656) Peter^G4074,) and^G2532 Andrew^G406 his^G846 brother^G80, James^G2385 and^G2532 John^G2491, Philip^G5376 and^G2532 Bartholomew^G918,

KJVAnd Judas^G2455 the brother of James^G2385, and^G2532 Judas^G2455 Iscariot^G2469, which^G3739 also^G2532 was^G1096^(G5633) the traitor^G4273.

¹⁷ He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases,

KJVAnd^G2532 he came down^G2597^(G5631) with^G3326 them^G846, and stood^G2476^(G5627) in^G1909 the plain^G3977^G5117, and^G2532 the company^G3793 of his^G846 disciples^G3101, and^G2532 a great^G4183 multitude^G4128 of people^G2992 out of^G575 all^G3956 Judaea^G2449 and^G2532 Jerusalem^G2419, and^G2532 from the sea coast^G3882 of Tyre^G5184 and^G2532 Sidon^G4605, which^G3739 came^G2064^(G5627) to hear^G191^(G5658) him^G846, and^G2532 to be healed^G2390^(G5683) of^G575 their^G846 diseases^G3554;

¹⁸ as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits; and they were being healed.

KJVAnd^G2532 they that were vexed^G3791^(G5746) with^G5259 unclean^G169 spirits^G4151: and^G2532 they were healed^G2323^(G5712).

¹⁹ All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.

KJVAnd^G2532 the whole^G3956 multitude^G3793 sought^G2212^(G5707) to touch^G680^(G5733) him^G846: for^G3754 there went^G1831^(G5711) virtue^G1411 out^G3844 of him^G846, and^G2532 healed^G2390^(G5711) them all^G3956.

²⁰ He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for God’s Kingdom is yours.

KJVAnd^G2532 he^G846 lifted up^G1869^(G5660) his^G846 eyes^G3788 on^G1519 his^G846 disciples^G3101, and said^G3004^(G5707), Blessed^G3107 be ye poor^G4434: for^G3754 yours^G5212 is^G2076^(G5748) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316.

KJVRejoice ye^G5463^(G5720) in^G1722 that^G1565 day^G2250, and^G2532 leap for joy^G4640^(G5657): for^G1063, behold^G2400^(G5628), your^G5216 reward^G3408 is great^G4183 in^G1722 heaven^G3772: for^G1063 in^G2596 the like manner^G5024 did^G4160^(G5707) their^G846 fathers^G3962 unto the prophets^G4396.

²⁴ “But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.

KJVBut^G4133 woe^G3759 unto you^G5213 that are rich^G4145! for^G3754 ye have received^G568^(G5719) your^G5216 consolation^G3874.

²⁵ Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

KJVWoe^G3759 unto you^G5213 that are full^G1705^(G5772)! for^G3754 ye shall hunger^G3983^(G5692). Woe^G3759 unto you^G5213 that laugh^G1070^(G5723) now^G3568! for^G3754 ye shall mourn^G3996^(G5692) and^G2532 weep^G2799^(G5692).

²⁷ “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

KJVBut^G235 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213 which^G3588 hear^G191^(G5723), Love^G25^(G5720) your^G5216 enemies^G2190, do^G4160^(G5720) good^G2573 to them which^G3588 hate^G3404^(G5723) you^G5209,

²⁸ bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

KJVBless^G2127^(G5720) them that curse^G2672^(G5740) you^G5213, and^G2532 pray^G4336^(G5737) for^G5228 them which despitefully use^G1908^(G5723) you^G5209.

²⁹ To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.

KJVAnd unto him that smiteth^G5180^(G5723) thee^G4571 on^G1909 the one cheek^G4600 offer^G3930^(G5720) also^G2532 the other^G243; and^G2532 him^G575 that taketh away^G142^(G5723) thy^G4675 cloke^G2440 forbid^G2967^(G5661) not^G3361 to take thy coat^G5509 also^G2532.

³⁰ Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.

KJV^G1161 Give^G1325^(G5720) to every man^G3956 that asketh^G154^(G5723) of thee^G4571; and^G2532 of^G575 him that taketh away^G142^(G5723) thy goods^G4674 ask^G523 them not^G3361 again^G523^(G5720).

³¹ “As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.

KJVAnd^G2532 as^G2531 ye would^G2309^(G5719) that^G2443 men^G444 should do^G4160^(G5725) to you^G5213, do^G4160^(G5720) ye^G5210 also^G2532 to them^G846 likewise^G3668.

³² “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

KJVFor^G2532 if^G1487 ye love^G25^(G5719) them which love^G25^(G5723) you^G5209, what^G4169 thank^G5485 have^G2076^(G5748) ye^G5213? for^G1063 sinners^G268 also^G2532 love^G25^(G5723) those that love^G25^(G5719) them^G846.

³³ If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 ye do good^G15^(G5725) to them which do good^G15^(G5723) to you^G5209, what^G4169 thank^G5485 have^G2076^(G5748) ye^G5213? for^G1063 sinners^G268 also do^G4160^(G5719) even^G2532 the same^G846.

³⁴ If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 ye lend^G1155^(G5725) to them of^G3844 whom^G3739 ye hope^G1679^(G5719)^(G5625)^G1679^(G5725) to receive^G618^(G5629), what^G4169 thank^G5485 have^G2076^(G5748) ye^G5213? for^G1063 sinners^G268 also^G2532 lend^G1155^(G5719) to sinners^G268, to^G2443 receive^G618 as much^G2470 again^G618^(G5632).

³⁵ But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

KJVBut^G4133 love ye^G25^(G5720) your^G5216 enemies^G2190, and^G2532 do good^G15^(G5720), and^G2532 lend^G1155^(G5720), hoping^G560 for nothing^G3367 again^G560^(G5723); and^G2532 your^G5216 reward^G3408 shall be^G2071^(G5704) great^G4183, and^G2532 ye shall be^G2071^(G5704) the children^G5207 of the Highest^G5310: for^G3754 he^G846 is^G2076^(G5748) kind^G5543 unto^G1909 the unthankful^G884 and^G2532 to the evil^G4190.

³⁶ “Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.

KJVBe ye^G1096^(G5737) therefore^G3767 merciful^G3629, as^G2531 your^G5216 Father^G3962 also^G2532 is^G2076^(G5748) merciful^G3629.

³⁷ Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.

KJV^G2532 Judge^G2919^(G5720) not^G3361, and^G2532 ye shall^G2919 not^G3364 be judged^G2919^(G5686): condemn^G2613^(G5720) not^G3361, and^G2532 ye shall^G2613 not^G3364 be condemned^G2613^(G5686): forgive^G630^(G5720), and^G2532 ye shall be forgiven^G630^(G5701):

³⁸ “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.”

KJVGive^G1325^(G5720), and^G2532 it shall be given^G1325^(G5701) unto you^G5213; good^G2570 measure^G3358, pressed down^G4085^(G5772), and^G2532 shaken together^G4531^(G5772), and^G2532 running over^G5240^(G5746), shall men give^G1325^(G5692) into^G1519 your^G5216 bosom^G2859. For^G1063 with the same^G846 measure^G3358 that^G3739 ye mete withal^G3354^(G5719) it shall be measured^G488 to you^G5213 again^G488^(G5701).

³⁹ He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?

KJVAnd^G1161 he spake^G2036^(G5627) a parable^G3850 unto them^G846,^G3385 Can^G1410^(G5736) the blind^G5185 lead^G3594^(G5721) the blind^G5185? shall they^G297 not^G3780 both^G297 fall^G4098^(G5699) into^G1519 the ditch^G999?

⁴⁰ A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

KJVThe disciple^G3101 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 above^G5228 his^G846 master^G1320: but^G1161 every one^G3956 that is perfect^G2675^(G5772) shall be^G2071^(G5704) as^G5613 his^G846 master^G1320.

⁴¹ Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?

KJVAnd^G1161 why^G5101 beholdest thou^G991^(G5719) the mote^G2595 that is in^G1722 thy^G4675 brother's^G80 eye^G3788, but^G1161 perceivest^G2657^(G5719) not^G3756 the beam^G1385 that is in^G1722 thine own^G2398 eye^G3788?

⁴² Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye.

KJVEither^G2228 how^G4459 canst thou^G1410^(G5736) say^G3004^(G5721) to thy^G4675 brother^G80, Brother^G80, let me^G863^(G5628) pull out^G1544^(G5632) the mote^G2595 that is in^G1722 thine^G4675 eye^G3788, when thou^G991 thyself^G846 beholdest^G991^(G5723) not^G3756 the beam^G1385 that is in^G1722 thine^G4675 own eye^G3788? Thou hypocrite^G5273, cast out^G1544^(G5628) first^G4412 the beam^G1385 out of^G1537 thine own^G4675 eye^G3788, and^G2532 then^G5119 shalt thou see clearly^G1227^(G5692) to pull out^G1544^(G5629) the mote^G2595 that is in^G1722 thy^G4675 brother's^G80 eye^G3788.

⁴³ “For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree that produces good fruit.

⁴⁴ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don’t gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

KJVFor^G1063 every^G1538 tree^G1186 is known^G1097^(G5743) by^G1537 his own^G2398 fruit^G2590. For^G1063 of^G1537 thorns^G173 men do not^G3756 gather^G4816^(G5719) figs^G4810, nor^G3761 of^G1537 a bramble bush^G942 gather they^G5166^(G5719) grapes^G4718.

⁴⁵ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

KJVA good^G18 man^G444 out of^G1537 the good^G18 treasure^G2344 of his^G846 heart^G2588 bringeth forth^G4393^(G5719) that which is good^G18; and^G2532 an evil^G4190 man^G444 out of^G1537 the evil^G4190 treasure^G2344 of his^G846 heart^G2588 bringeth forth^G4393^(G5719) that which is evil^G4190: for^G1063 of^G1537 the abundance^G4051 of the heart^G2588 his^G846 mouth^G4750 speaketh^G2980^(G5719).

KJVWhosoever^G3956 cometh^G2064^(G5740) to^G4314 me^G3165, and^G2532 heareth^G191^(G5723) my^G3450 sayings^G3056, and^G2532 doeth^G4160^(G5723) them^G846, I will shew^G5263^(G5692) you^G5213 to whom^G5101 he is^G2076^(G5748) like^G3664:

⁴⁸ He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.

KJVHe is^G2076^(G5748) like^G3664 a man^G444 which^G3739 built^G3618^(G5723) an house^G3614, and^G2532 digged^G4626^(G5656) deep^G900^(G5656), and^G2532 laid^G5087^(G5656) the foundation^G2310 on^G1909 a rock^G4073: and^G1161 when the flood^G4132 arose^G1096^(G5637), the stream^G4215 beat vehemently^G4366^(G5656) upon that^G1565 house^G3614, and^G2532 could^G2480^(G5656) not^G3756 shake^G4531^(G5658) it^G846: for^G1063 it was founded^G2311^(G5718) upon^G1909 a rock^G4073.

⁴⁹ But he who hears and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”

WEB·Luke 5

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.
