Evanðelje po Luki 5

Prvi učenici

1 Dok je jednom stajao na obali Genezaretskoga jezera a mnoštvo je nagrnulo k njemu da sluša Božju riječ,2 Isus ugleda dvije lađice koje su ribari ostavili uz obalu jer su ispirali mreže.

3 Uđe u jednu od njih te zamoli Šimuna, kojemu je pripadala, da ju malo odgurne od obale. Zatim sjedne i počne iz lađice poučavati narod.
4 Kad je završio s govorom, reče Šimunu: "Izvezi natrag na pučinu, pa bacite mreže za lov!"5 "Gospodine," reče mu Šimun, "cijelu smo noć teško radili i ništa nismo uhvatili, ali kad ti tako kažeš, bacit ću mreže."6 Kad su ih bacili, u njih se uhvati toliko riba da su se razdirale.

7 Ribari stanu mahati svojim drugovima u drugoj lađici da im priskoče u pomoć. Oni dođu, pa napune obje lađice ribom tako da su gotovo tonule.
8 Kad je to vidio Šimun Petar, padne na koljena pred Isusom i reče mu: "Gospodine, udalji se od mene jer sam odviše grešan da bih ti bio blizu!"9 Silna lovina riba zaprepastila je njega i sve koji su bili s njime,

10 pa tako i Šimunove drugove Jakova i Ivana, Zebedejeve sinove.
Isus odgovori Šimunu: "Ne boj se! Od sada ćeš loviti ljude!"

11 Oni izvuku lađice na kopno, a zatim sve ostave i pođu za njim.

Isus iscjeljuje gubavca

12 U nekome mjestu gdje je Isus boravio pojavi se iznenada pred njim čovjek pun gube. Čim spazi Isusa, baci se pred njega ničice, licem prema zemlji, i zamoli ga: "Gospodine, ako hoćeš, možeš me iscijeliti!"13 Isus ispruži ruku i dotakne ga. "Hoću!" reče. "Ozdravi!" I gube odmah nestane.14 Isus mu zapovjedi: "Nikome o tomu ne govori, već idi ravno svećeniku te sa sobom ponesi žrtveni dar prema Mojsijevu zakonu kao javno svjedočanstvo svojeg ozdravljenja."15 Ali glas o Isusu pronosio se sve dalje, pa je golemo mnoštvo naroda nahrupilo da ga sluša i da ozdravi od bolesti.

16 A on je odlazio moliti se na samotna mjesta.

Isus iscjeljuje uzetog čovjeka

17 Jednoga dana dok je Isus poučavao, ondje su sjedili farizeji i pismoznanci koji su došli iz svih galilejskih i judejskih sela i iz Jeruzalema, a njega je sila Gospodnja poticala da iscjeljuje.18 Neki ljudi donijeli su uzetog čovjeka na nosilima. Htjeli su ga unijeti unutra i položiti pred Isusa,19 ali nisu se kroz mnoštvo uspjeli probiti do njega. Zato se popnu na krov, načine otvor među crepovima te ga s nosilima spuste među mnoštvo pred Isusa.

20 Videći njihovu vjeru, Isus reče: "Čovječe, grijesi su ti oprošteni!"
21 Pismoznanci i farizeji nato počnu umovati: "Tko je ovaj da tako huli? Tko može opraštati grijehe osim jedinoga Boga!"22 Isus prozre njihovo umovanje, pa ih upita: "Zašto to smatrate hulom?23 Što je lakše reći: 'Grijesi su ti oprošteni' ili 'Ustani i idi'?"

24 Dokazat ću vam da ja, Sin Čovječji, imam vlast na zemlji opraštati grijehe." Okrene se zatim prema uzetome i reče: "Zapovijedam ti: ustani, uzmi nosila i idi doma!"
25 Čovjek smjesta ustane te naočigled svih uzme nosila i ode slaveći Boga.

26 Nato sve obuzme zanos, pa su slavili Boga i silno prestrašeni govorili: "Ovo što smo danas vidjeli je čudesno!"

Isus poziva Levija

27 Izlazeći nakon toga, Isus ugleda ubirača poreza imenom Levi kako sjedi u svojemu uredu. "Pođi za mnom!" reče mu Isus.

28 Levi nato ustane, ostavi sve te pođe za njim.
29 Poslije Levi u svojemu domu priredi veliku gozbu u čast Isusu. S njima je za stolom sjedilo mnogo ubirača poreza i drugih uzvanika.

30 A farizeji i pismoznanci negodovali su i govorili učenicima: "Zašto jedete i pijete s ubiračima poreza i grešnicima?"
31 Isus im odgovori: "Liječnik ne treba zdravima, već bolesnima.

32 Došao sam grešnike pozvati na obraćenje, a ne družiti se s onima koji sebe smatraju pravednima."

Rasprava o postu

33 Oni mu nato prigovore: "Ivanovi i farizejski učenici često poste i mole se, a tvoji jedu i piju!"34 "Ne mogu svatovi postiti dok je mladoženja s njima.

35 Ali doći će dan kad će im ugrabiti zaručnika. Tada će postiti."
36 Zatim im Isus to objasni prispodobom: "Nitko neće rupu na starome odijelu zakrpati tkaninom koju je otparao s novoga jer bi tako poderao i novo odijelo, a starome odijelu krpa s novoga ionako ne bi pristajala.37 I nitko ne ulijeva novo vino u stare mjehove jer bi se od njega raspuknuli. Tako bi se i vino prolilo i mjehovi uništili.38 Novo vino mora se ulijevati u nove mješine.

39 I nitko pijući staro vino ne poželi piti novo. 'Staro je bolje', kažu."

Luke 5

The Call of the Disciples

1 Nowt Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,s and the crowd was pressing around hims to hear the word of God.2 Het saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.3 He got intot one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Thent Jesust sat downt and taught the crowds from the boat.4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and lowert your nets for a catch.”5 Simont answered,t “Master,t we worked hard all night and caught nothing! But at your wordt I will lowert the nets.”6 Whent they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear.t7 Sot they motionedt to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were about to sink.t8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord,s for I am a sinful man!”s9 Fors Petert and all who were with him were astonisheds at the catch of fish that they had taken,10 and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s business partners.t Thent Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now ons you will be catching people.”ts

11 Sot when they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followeds him.

Healing a Leper

12 Whilet Jesust was in one of the towns,t a man camet to him who was covered witht leprosy.s Whent he saw Jesus, he bowed down with his face to the groundt and begged him,t “Lord, ift you are willing, you can make me clean.”13 Sot he stretched out his hand and toucheds him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.14 Thent he ordered the mant to tell no one,s but commanded him,t “Got and show yourself to a priest, and bring the offeringt for your cleansing, as Moses commanded,s as a testimony to them.”t15 But the news about him spread even more,s and large crowds were gathering together to hear himt and to be healed of their illnesses.

16 Yet Jesus himselft frequently withdrewt to the wildernesst and prayed.

Healing and Forgiving a Paralytic

17 Now ont one of those days, while he was teaching, there were Phariseess and teachers of the lawt sitting nearby (who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem),ss and the power of the Lord was with hims to heal.18 Just thent some men showed up, carrying a paralyzed mant on a stretcher.t Theyt were trying to bring him in and place him before Jesus.t19 Butt since they foundt no way to carry him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roofs and let him down on the stretchert through the roof tilest rightt in front of Jesus.s20 Whent Jesust saw theirs faith he said, “Friend,t your sins are forgiven.”ts21 Thent the experts in the lawt and the Pharisees began to thinkt to themselves,t “Who is this mant who is uttering blasphemies?s Who can forgive sins but God alone?”22 When Jesus perceiveds their hostile thoughts,t he said to them,t “Why are you raising objectionst within yourselves?23 Which is easier,s to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’?24 But so that you may knows that the Son of Mans has authority on earth to forgive sins” – he said to the paralyzed mants – “I tell you, stand up, take your stretchert and go home.”t25 Immediatelyt he stood up before them, pickedt up the stretchert he had been lying on, and went home, glorifyings God.

26 Thent astonishmentt seized them all, and they glorifiedt God. They were filled with awe,t saying, “We have seen incrediblet thingst today.”s

The Call of Levi; Eating with Sinners

27 Aftert this, Jesust went out and saw a tax collectors named Levis sitting at the tax booth.ts “Follow me,”s he said to him.

28 And he got up and followed him, leaving everythings behind.t
29 Thent Levi gave a great banquets in his house for Jesus,t and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others sittingt at the table with them.30 Butt the Phariseess and their experts in the lawt complainedt to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”s31 Jesust answered them, “Those who are well don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do.s

32 I have not comes to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”s

The Superiority of the New

33 Thent they said to him, “John’sss disciples frequently fasts and pray,t and so do the disciples of the Pharisees,s but yours continue to eat and drink.”t34 Sot Jesus said to them, “You cannot make the wedding guestst fast while the bridegrooms is with them, can you?t35 But those days are coming, and when the bridegroom is taken from them,s at that timet they will fast.”36 He also told them a parable:s “No one tears a patch from a new garment and sewst it on an old garment. If he does, he will have tornt the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.s37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins.s If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.38 Instead new wine must be poured into new wineskins.ss

39 ss Nos one after drinking old wine wants the new, for he says, ‘The old is good enough.’”sts
