Luke 5:7-26

7soG5620 they signaledG2656 to their partnersG3353 in the otherG2087 boatG4143 to comeG2064 and helpG4815 them. And they cameG2064 and filledG4092 bothG297 of the boatsG4143, toG5620 theG5620 pointG5620 thatG5620 they were sinkingG1036. 8But when SimonG4613 PeterG4074 sawG3708 this, he fellG4363 downG4363 at Jesus’G2424 kneesG1119, sayingG3004, “GoG1831 awayG1831 from me, LordG2962, for I amG1510 a sinfulG268 manG435!” 9For amazementG2285 had seizedG4023 him and allG3956 his companionsG3588G4862 becauseG1909 of the catchG61 of fishG2486 whichG3739 they had takenG4815; 10and likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 were 1JamesG2385 and JohnG2491, sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199, whoG3739 were partnersG2844 with SimonG4613. And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to SimonG4613, “2Do not fearG5399; from nowG3568 on you will be 3catchingG2221 peopleG444.” 11When they had broughtG2609 their boatsG4143 to landG1093, 4they leftG863 everythingG3956 and followedG190 Him.

125WhileG1722 He was in oneG1520 of the citiesG4172, beholdG2400, there was a manG435 6coveredG4134 with leprosyG3014; and when he sawG3708 JesusG2424, he fellG4098 on his faceG4383 and beggedG1189 Him, sayingG3004, “LordG2962, ifG1437 You are willingG2309, You canG1410 makeG2511 me cleanG2511.” 13And He reachedG1614 outG1614 with His handG5495 and touchedG681 him, sayingG3004, “I amG2309 willingG2309; be cleansedG2511.” And immediatelyG2112 the leprosyG3014 leftG565 him. 14And He orderedG3853 him to tellG3004 noG3367 oneG3367, saying, “But goG565 and 7showG1166 yourselfG4572 to the priestG2409, and makeG4374 anG4374 offeringG4374 for your cleansingG2512, justG2531 asG2531 MosesG3475 commandedG4367, as a testimonyG3142 to them.” 15But 8the newsG3056 aboutG4012 Him was spreadingG1330 even fartherG3123, and largeG4183 crowdsG3793 were gatheringG4905 to hearG191 Him and to be healedG2323 of their sicknessesG769. 16But Jesus HimselfG846 would often slipG5298 awayG5298 9to the 10wildernessG2048 and 11prayG4336.

1712OneG1520 dayG2250 He was teachingG1321, and 13there were some PhariseesG5330 and 14teachersG3547 ofG3547 theG3547 LawG3547 sittingG2521 there whoG3739 had 15comeG2064 from everyG3956 villageG2968 of GalileeG1056 and JudeaG2449, and from JerusalemG2419; and 16the powerG1411 of the LordG2962 was present for Him to performG2390 healingG2390. 1817And some menG435 were carryingG5342 a manG444 on a stretcherG2825 whoG3739 was paralyzedG3886; and they were tryingG2212 to bringG1533 him inG1533 and to setG5087 him downG5087 in frontG1799 of Him. 19But when they did not findG2147 anyG4169 way to bringG1533 him inG1533 becauseG1223 of the crowdG3793, they wentG305 upG305 on 18the roofG1430 and letG2524 him downG2524 19throughG1223 the tilesG2766 with his stretcherG2826, into the middleG3319 of the crowd, inG1715 frontG1715 of JesusG2424. 20And seeingG3708 their faithG4102, He saidG3004, “20FriendG444, 21your sinsG266 are forgivenG863 you.” 21The scribesG1122 and the PhariseesG5330 22beganG757 thinkingG1260 ofG1260 theG1260 implicationsG1260, sayingG3004, “23WhoG5101 is thisG3778 man whoG3739 speaksG2980 blasphemiesG988? 24WhoG5101 canG1410 forgiveG863 sinsG266, exceptG1487G3361 GodG2316 aloneG3441?” 22But JesusG2424, 25awareG1921 of their thoughtsG1261, respondedG611 and saidG3004 to them, “WhyG5101 are you thinkingG1260 thisG1260 wayG1260 in your heartsG2588? 23WhichG5101 is easierG2123, to sayG3004: ‘Your sinsG266 are forgivenG863 you,’ orG2228 to sayG3004, ‘GetG1453 upG1453 and walkG4043’? 24But soG2443 thatG2443 you may knowG3609 that the SonG5207 of ManG444 hasG2192 authorityG1849 on earthG1093 to forgiveG863 sinsG266,” He saidG3004 to the 26manG3886 who was paralyzedG3886, “I sayG3004 to you, getG1453 upG1453, and pickG142 upG142 your stretcherG2826, and goG4198 homeG3624.” 25And immediatelyG3916 he gotG450 upG450 beforeG1799 them, and pickedG142 upG142 whatG3739 he had been lyingG2621 on, and wentG565 homeG3624 27glorifyingG1392 GodG2316. 26And 28they were allG537 struckG2983 with astonishmentG1611 and began 29glorifyingG1392 GodG2316. They were alsoG2532 filledG4092 30with fearG5401, sayingG3004, “We have seenG3708 remarkableG3861 thingsG3861 todayG4594!”
