But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9
For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken;
10
and so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon,
Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11
And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him.
12
And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy: and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13
And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying,
I will; be thou made clean. And straightway the leprosy departed from him.
14
And he charged him to tell no man:
but go thy way, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
15

16
But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed.
17
And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

And behold, men bring on a bed a man that was palsied: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
