Luke 5

The Message Bible MSG

1 Once when he was standing on the shore of Lake Gennesaret, the crowd was pushing in on him to better hear the Word of God.

2 He noticed two boats tied up. The fishermen had just left them and were out scrubbing their nets.

3 He climbed into the boat that was Simon's and asked him to put out a little from the shore. Sitting there, using the boat for a pulpit, he taught the crowd.

4 When he finished teaching, he said to Simon, "Push out into deep water and let your nets out for a catch."

5 Simon said, "Master, we've been fishing hard all night and haven't caught even a minnow. But if you say so, I'll let out the nets."

6 It was no sooner said than done - a huge haul of fish, straining the nets past capacity.

7 They waved to their partners in the other boat to come help them. They filled both boats, nearly swamping them with the catch.

8 Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell to his knees before Jesus. "Master, leave. I'm a sinner and can't handle this holiness. Leave me to myself."

9 When they pulled in that catch of fish, awe overwhelmed Simon and everyone with him.

10 It was the same with James and John, Zebedee's sons, coworkers with Simon.

11 They pulled their boats up on the beach, left them, nets and all, and followed him.

12 One day in one of the villages there was a man covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus he fell down before him in prayer and said, "If you want to, you can cleanse me."

13 Jesus put out his hand, touched him, and said, "I want to. Be clean." Then and there his skin was smooth, the leprosy gone.

14 Jesus instructed him, "Don't talk about this all over town. Just quietly present your healed self to the priest, along with the offering ordered by Moses. Your cleansed and obedient life, not your words, will bear witness to what I have done."

15 But the man couldn't keep it to himself, and the word got out. Soon a large crowd of people had gathered to listen and be healed of their ailments.

16 As often as possible Jesus withdrew to out-of-the-way places for prayer.

17 One day as he was teaching, Pharisees and religion teachers were sitting around. They had come from nearly every village in Galilee and Judea, even as far away as Jerusalem, to be there. The healing power of God was on him.

18 Some men arrived carrying a paraplegic on a stretcher. They were looking for a way to get into the house and set him before Jesus.

19 When they couldn't find a way in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof, removed some tiles, and let him down in the middle of everyone, right in front of Jesus.

20 Impressed by their bold belief, he said, "Friend, I forgive your sins."

21 That set the religion scholars and Pharisees buzzing. "Who does he think he is? That's blasphemous talk! God and only God can forgive sins."

22 Jesus knew exactly what they were thinking and said, "Why all this gossipy whispering?

23 Which is simpler: to say 'I forgive your sins,' or to say 'Get up and start walking'?

24 Well, just so it's clear that I'm the Son of Man and authorized to do either, or both. . . ." He now spoke directly to the paraplegic: "Get up. Take your bedroll and go home."

25 Without a moment's hesitation, he did it - got up, took his blanket, and left for home, giving glory to God all the way.

26 The people rubbed their eyes, incredulous - and then also gave glory to God. Awestruck, they said, "We've never seen anything like that!"

27 After this he went out and saw a man named Levi at his work collecting taxes. Jesus said, "Come along with me."

28 And he did - walked away from everything and went with him.

29 Levi gave a large dinner at his home for Jesus. Everybody was there, tax men and other disreputable characters as guests at the dinner.

30 The Pharisees and their religion scholars came to his disciples greatly offended. "What is he doing eating and drinking with crooks and 'sinners'?"

31 Jesus heard about it and spoke up, "Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick?

32 I'm here inviting outsiders, not insiders - an invitation to a changed life, changed inside and out."

33 They asked him, "John's disciples are well-known for keeping fasts and saying prayers. Also the Pharisees. But you seem to spend most of your time at parties. Why?"

34 Jesus said, "When you're celebrating a wedding, you don't skimp on the cake and wine. You feast. Later you may need to pull in your belt, but this isn't the time. As long as the bride and groom are with you, you have a good time.

35 When the groom is gone, the fasting can begin. No one throws cold water on a friendly bonfire. This is Kingdom Come!

36 "No one cuts up a fine silk scarf to patch old work clothes; you want fabrics that match.

37 And you don't put wine in old, cracked bottles;

38 you get strong, clean bottles for your fresh vintage wine.

39 And no one who has ever tasted fine aged wine prefers unaged wine."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 factum est autem cum turbae inruerent in eum ut audirent verbum Dei et ipse stabat secus stagnum Gennesareth

2 et vidit duas naves stantes secus stagnum piscatores autem descenderant et lavabant retia

3 ascendens autem in unam navem quae erat Simonis rogavit eum a terra reducere pusillum et sedens docebat de navicula turbas

4 ut cessavit autem loqui dixit ad Simonem duc in altum et laxate retia vestra in capturam

5 et respondens Simon dixit illi praeceptor per totam noctem laborantes nihil cepimus in verbo autem tuo laxabo rete

6 et cum hoc fecissent concluserunt piscium multitudinem copiosam rumpebatur autem rete eorum

7 et annuerunt sociis qui erant in alia navi ut venirent et adiuvarent eos et venerunt et impleverunt ambas naviculas ita ut mergerentur

8 quod cum videret Simon Petrus procidit ad genua Iesu dicens exi a me quia homo peccator sum Domine

9 stupor enim circumdederat eum et omnes qui cum illo erant in captura piscium quam ceperant

10 similiter autem Iacobum et Iohannem filios Zebedaei qui erant socii Simonis et ait ad Simonem Iesus noli timere ex hoc iam homines eris capiens

11 et subductis ad terram navibus relictis omnibus secuti sunt illum

12 et factum est cum esset in una civitatum et ecce vir plenus lepra et videns Iesum et procidens in faciem rogavit eum dicens Domine si vis potes me mundare

13 et extendens manum tetigit illum dicens volo mundare et confestim lepra discessit ab illo

14 et ipse praecepit illi ut nemini diceret sed vade ostende te sacerdoti et offer pro emundatione tua sicut praecepit Moses in testimonium illis

15 perambulabat autem magis sermo de illo et conveniebant turbae multae ut audirent et curarentur ab infirmitatibus suis

16 ipse autem secedebat in deserto et orabat

17 et factum est in una dierum et ipse sedebat docens et erant Pharisaei sedentes et legis doctores qui venerant ex omni castello Galilaeae et Iudaeae et Hierusalem et virtus erat Domini ad sanandum eos

18 et ecce viri portantes in lecto hominem qui erat paralyticus et quaerebant eum inferre et ponere ante eum

19 et non invenientes qua parte illum inferrent prae turba ascenderunt supra tectum per tegulas submiserunt illum cum lecto in medium ante Iesum

20 quorum fidem ut vidit dixit homo remittuntur tibi peccata tua

21 et coeperunt cogitare scribae et Pharisaei dicentes quis est hic qui loquitur blasphemias quis potest dimittere peccata nisi solus Deus

22 ut cognovit autem Iesus cogitationes eorum respondens dixit ad illos quid cogitatis in cordibus vestris

23 quid est facilius dicere dimittuntur tibi peccata an dicere surge et ambula

24 ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis potestatem habet in terra dimittere peccata ait paralytico tibi dico surge tolle lectum tuum et vade in domum tuam

25 et confestim surgens coram illis tulit in quo iacebat et abiit in domum suam magnificans Deum

26 et stupor adprehendit omnes et magnificabant Deum et repleti sunt timore dicentes quia vidimus mirabilia hodie

27 et post haec exiit et vidit publicanum nomine Levi sedentem ad teloneum et ait illi sequere me

28 et relictis omnibus surgens secutus est eum

29 et fecit ei convivium magnum Levi in domo sua et erat turba multa publicanorum et aliorum qui cum illis erant discumbentes

30 et murmurabant Pharisaei et scribae eorum dicentes ad discipulos eius quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducatis et bibitis

31 et respondens Iesus dixit ad illos non egent qui sani sunt medico sed qui male habent

32 non veni vocare iustos sed peccatores in paenitentiam

33 at illi dixerunt ad eum quare discipuli Iohannis ieiunant frequenter et obsecrationes faciunt similiter et Pharisaeorum tui autem edunt et bibunt

34 quibus ipse ait numquid potestis filios sponsi dum cum illis est sponsus facere ieiunare

35 venient autem dies et cum ablatus fuerit ab illis sponsus tunc ieiunabunt in illis diebus

36 dicebat autem et similitudinem ad illos quia nemo commissuram a vestimento novo inmittit in vestimentum vetus alioquin et novum rumpit et veteri non convenit commissura a novo

37 et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres alioquin rumpet vinum novum utres et ipsum effundetur et utres peribunt

38 sed vinum novum in utres novos mittendum est et utraque conservantur

39 et nemo bibens vetus statim vult novum dicit enim vetus melius est
