¹ And ^G1161 it came to pass, ^G1096 that, as ^G1722 the people ^G3793 pressed upon ^G1945 him ^G846 to hear ^G191 the word ^G3056 of God, ^{G2316 G2532} he ^G846 stood ^{G2258 G2476} by ^G3844 the lake ^G3041 of Gennesaret, ^G1082

² And ^G2532 saw ^G1492 two ^G1417 ships ^G4143 standing ^G2476 by ^G3844 the lake: ^G3041 but ^G1161 the fishermen ^G231 were gone ^G576 out of ^G575 them, ^G846 and were washing ^G637 their nets. ^G1350

³ And ^G1161 he entered ^G1684 into ^G1519 one ^G1520 of the ships, ^G4143 which ^G3739 was ^G2258 Simon's, ^G4613 and prayed ^G2065 him ^G846 that he would thrust out ^G1877 a little ^G3641 from ^G575 the land. ^G1093 And ^G2532 he sat down, ^G2523 and taught ^G1321 the people ^G3793 out of ^G1537 the ship. ^G4143

⁴ Now ^G1161 when ^G5613 he had left ^G3973 speaking, ^G2980 he said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 Simon, ^G4613 Launch out ^G1877 into ^G1519 the deep, ^G899 and ^G2532 let down ^G5465 your ^G5216 nets ^G1350 for ^G1519 a draught. ^G61

⁵ And ^G2532 Simon ^G4613 answering ^G611 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Master, ^G1988 we have toiled ^G2872 all ^{G3650 G1223} the night, ^G3571 and have taken ^G2983 nothing: ^G3762 nevertheless ^G1161 at ^G1909 thy ^G4675 word ^G4487 I will let down ^G5465 the net. ^G1350

⁶ And ^G2532 when they had ^G4160 this ^G5124 done, ^G4160 they inclosed ^G4788 a great ^G4183 multitude ^G4128 of fishes: ^G2486 and ^G1161 their ^G846 net ^G1350 brake. ^G1284

⁷ And ^G2532 they beckoned ^G2656 unto their partners, ^G3353 which ^G3588 were in ^G1722 the other ^G2087 ship, ^G4143 that they should come ^G2064 and help ^G4815 them. ^G846 And ^G2532 they came, ^G2064 and ^G2532 filled ^G4130 both ^G297 the ships, ^G4143 so ^G5620 that they ^G846 began to sink. ^G1036

⁸ When ^G1161 Simon ^G4613 Peter ^G4074 saw ^G1492 it, he fell down at ^G4363 Jesus' ^G2424 knees, ^G1119 saying, ^G3004 Depart ^G1831 from ^G575 me; ^G1700 for ^G3754 I am ^G1510 a sinful ^G268 man, ^G435 O Lord. ^G2962

⁹ For ^G1063 he ^G846 was astonished, ^{G4023 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

¹⁰ And ^G1161 so ^G3668 was also ^G2532 James, ^G2385 and ^G2532 John, ^G2491 the sons ^G5207 of Zebedee, ^G2199 which ^G3739 were ^G2258 partners ^G2844 with Simon. ^G4613 And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 Simon, ^G4613 Fear ^G5399 not; ^G3361 from ^G575 henceforth ^G3568 thou shalt ^G2071 catch ^G2221 men. ^G444

¹¹ And ^G2532 when they had brought ^G2609 their ships ^G4143 to ^G1909 land, ^G1093 they forsook ^G863 all, ^G537 and followed ^G190 him. ^G846

¹² And ^G2532 it came to pass, ^G1096 when he ^G846 was ^{G1511 G1722} in ^G1722 a certain ^G3391 city, ^{G4172 G2532} behold ^G2400 a man ^G435 full ^G4134 of leprosy: ^G3014 who ^G2532 seeing ^G1492 Jesus ^G2424 fell ^G4098 on ^G1909 his face, ^G4383 and besought ^G1189 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Lord, ^G2962 if ^G1437 thou wilt, ^G2309 thou canst ^G1410 make ^G2511 me ^G3165 clean. ^G2511

¹³ And ^G2532 he put forth ^G1614 his hand, ^G5495 and touched ^G680 him, ^G846 saying, ^G2036 I will: ^G2309 be thou clean. ^G2511 And ^G2532 immediately ^G2112 the leprosy ^G3014 departed ^G565 from ^G575 him. ^G846

¹⁴ And ^G2532 he ^G846 charged ^G3853 him ^G846 to tell ^G2036 no man: ^G3367 but ^G235 go, ^G565 and shew ^G1166 thyself ^G4572 to the priest, ^G2409 and ^G2532 offer ^G4374 for ^G4012 thy ^G4675 cleansing, ^G2512 according as ^G2531 Moses ^G3475 commanded, ^G4367 for ^G1519 a testimony ^G3142 unto them. ^G846

¹⁵ But ^G1161 so much the more ^G3123 went there ^G1330 a fame ^G3056 abroad ^G1330 of ^G4012 him: ^G846 and ^G2532 great ^G4183 multitudes ^G3793 came together ^G4905 to hear, ^G191 and ^G2532 to be healed ^G2323 by ^G5259 him ^G846 of ^G575 their ^G846 infirmities. ^G769

¹⁶ And ^G1161 he withdrew ^{G2258 G5298} himself ^G846 into ^G1722 the wilderness, ^G2048 and ^G2532 prayed. ^G4336

¹⁷ And ^G2532 it came to pass ^G1096 on ^G1722 a certain ^G3391 day, ^G2250 as ^G2532 he ^G846 was ^G2258 teaching, ^G1321 that ^G2532 there were ^G2258 Pharisees ^G5330 and ^G2532 doctors of the law ^G3547 sitting by, ^G2521 which ^G3739 were ^G2258 come ^G2064 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 present to ^G1519 heal ^G2390 them. ^G846

¹⁸ And, ^G2532 behold, ^G2400 men ^G435 brought ^G5342 in ^G1909 a bed ^G2825 a man ^G444 which ^G3739 was ^G2258 taken with a palsy: ^G3886 and ^G2532 they sought ^G2212 means to bring ^G1533 him ^G846 in, ^G1533 and ^G2532 to lay ^G5087 him before ^G1799 him. ^G846

¹⁹ And ^G2532 when they could ^G2147 not ^G3361 find ^G2147 by ^G1223 what ^G4169 way they might bring ^G1533 him ^G846 in ^G1533 because ^G1223 of the multitude, ^G3793 they went ^G305 upon ^G1909 the housetop, ^G1430 and let ^G2524 him ^G846 down ^G2524 through ^G1223 the tiling ^G2766 with ^G4862 his couch ^G2826 into ^G1519 the midst ^G3319 before ^G1715 Jesus. ^G2424

²⁰ And ^G2532 when he saw ^G1492 their ^G846 faith, ^G4102 he said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Man, ^G444 thy ^G4675 sins ^G266 are forgiven ^G863 thee. ^G4671

²¹ And ^G2532 the scribes ^G1122 and ^G2532 the Pharisees ^G5330 began ^G756 to reason, ^G1260 saying, ^G3004 Who ^G5101 is ^G2076 this ^G3778 which ^G3739 speaketh ^G2980 blasphemies? ^G988 Who ^G5101 can ^G1410 forgive ^G863 sins, ^G266 but ^G1508 God ^G2316 alone? ^G3441

²² But ^G1161 when Jesus ^G2424 perceived ^G1921 their ^G846 thoughts, ^G1261 he answering ^G611 said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 them, ^G846 What ^G5101 reason ye ^G1260 in ^G1722 your ^G5216 hearts? ^G2588

²³ Whether ^G5101 is ^G2076 easier, ^G2123 to say, ^G2036 Thy ^G4675 sins ^G266 be forgiven ^G863 thee; ^G4671 or ^G2228 to say, ^G2036 Rise up ^G1453 and ^G2532 walk? ^G4043

²⁴ But ^G1161 that ^G2443 ye may know ^G1492 that ^G3754 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 hath ^G2192 power ^G1849 upon ^G1909 earth ^G1093 to forgive ^G863 sins, ^G266 (he said ^G2036 unto the sick of the palsy,) ^G3886 I say ^G3004 unto thee, ^G4671 Arise, ^G1453 and ^G2532 take up ^G142 thy ^G4675 couch, ^G2826 and go ^G4198 into ^G1519 thine ^G4675 house. ^G3624

²⁵ And ^G2532 immediately ^G3916 he rose up ^G450 before ^G1799 them, ^G846 and took up ^G142 that whereon ^{G1909 G3739} he lay, ^G2621 and departed ^G565 to ^G1519 his own ^G846 house, ^G3624 glorifying ^G1392 God. ^G2316

²⁶ And ^G2532 they were ^G2983 all ^G537 amazed, ^G1611 and ^G2532 they glorified ^G1392 God, ^G2316 and ^G2532 were filled ^G4130 with fear, ^G5401 saying, ^{G3004 G3754} We have seen ^G1492 strange things ^G3861 to day. ^G4594

²⁷ And ^G2532 after ^G3326 these things ^G5023 he went forth, ^G1831 and ^G2532 saw ^G2300 a publican, ^G5057 named ^G3686 Levi, ^G3018 sitting ^G2521 at ^G1909 the receipt of custom: ^G5058 and ^G2532 he said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Follow ^G190 me. ^G3427

²⁸ And ^G2532 he left ^G2641 all, ^G537 rose up, ^G450 and followed ^G190 him. ^G846

²⁹ And ^G2532 Levi ^G3018 made ^G4160 him ^G846 a great ^G3173 feast ^G1403 in ^G1722 his own ^G846 house: ^G3614 and ^G2532 there was ^G2258 a great ^G4183 company ^G3793 of publicans ^G5057 and ^G2532 of others ^G243 that ^G3739 sat down ^{G2258 G2621} with ^G3326 them. ^G846

³⁰ But ^G2532 their ^G846 scribes ^G1122 and ^G2532 Pharisees ^G5330 murmured ^G1111 against ^G4314 his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 saying, ^G3004 Why ^G1302 do ye eat ^G2068 and ^G2532 drink ^G4095 with ^G3326 publicans ^G5057 and ^G2532 sinners? ^G268

³¹ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 answering ^G611 said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 them, ^G846 They that are whole ^G5198 need ^{G5532 G2192} not ^G3756 a physician; ^G2395 but ^G235 they that are ^G2192 sick. ^G2560

³² I came ^G2064 not ^G3756 to call ^G2564 the righteous, ^G1342 but ^G235 sinners ^G268 to ^G1519 repentance. ^G3341

³³ And ^G1161 they said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846 Why ^G1302 do ^G3522 the disciples ^G3101 of John ^G2491 fast ^G3522 often, ^G4437 and ^G2532 make ^G4160 prayers, ^G1162 and ^G2532 likewise ^G3668 the disciples ^G3588 of the Pharisees; ^G5330 but ^G1161 thine ^G4674 eat ^G2068 and ^G2532 drink? ^G4095

³⁴ And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 them, ^{G846 G3361} Can ye ^G1410 make ^G4160 the children ^G5207 of the bridechamber ^G3567 fast, ^G3522 while ^{G3739 G1722} the bridegroom ^G3566 is ^G2076 with ^G3326 them? ^G846

³⁵ But ^G1161 the days ^G2250 will come, ^G2064 when ^{G3752 G2532} the bridegroom ^G3566 shall be taken away ^G522 from ^G575 them, ^G846 and then ^G5119 shall they fast ^G3522 in ^G1722 those ^G1565 days. ^G2250

³⁶ And ^G1161 he spake ^G3004 also ^G2532 a parable ^G3850 unto ^G4314 them; ^{G846 G3754} No man ^G3762 putteth ^G1911 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 and ^G2532 the piece ^G1915 that was taken out of ^G575 the new ^G2537 agreeth ^G4856 not ^G3756 with the old. ^G3820

³⁷ And ^G2532 no man ^G3762 putteth ^G906 new ^G3501 wine ^G3631 into ^G1519 old ^G3820 bottles; ^G779 else ^G1490 the new ^G3501 wine ^G3631 will burst ^G4486 the bottles, ^G779 and ^{G2532 G846} be spilled, ^G1632 and ^G2532 the bottles ^G779 shall perish. ^G622

³⁸ But ^G235 new ^G3501 wine ^G3631 must be put ^G992 into ^G1519 new ^G2537 bottles; ^G779 and ^G2532 both ^G297 are preserved. ^G4933

³⁹ No man ^G3762 also ^G2532 having drunk ^G4095 old ^G3820 wine straightway ^G2112 desireth ^G2309 new: ^G3501 for ^G1063 he saith, ^G3004 The old ^G3820 is ^G2076 better. ^G5543
