路加福音 5

呼召四个门徒

1 耶稣站在革尼撒勒湖边，众人拥挤他，要听 神的道。2 他看见两只船停在湖边，渔夫离开船洗网去了。3 他上了西门的那一只船，请他撑开，离岸不远，就坐下，从船上教导众人。4 讲完了，就对西门说：“把船开到水深的地方，下网打鱼！”5 西门说：“主啊，我们整夜劳苦，毫无所得，不过，我愿照你的话下网。”6 他们下了网，就圈住很多鱼，网几乎裂开，7 就招呼另外那只船上的同伴来帮助，他们就来把两只船装满，甚至船要下沉。8 西门．彼得看见这种情景，就俯伏在耶稣膝前，说：“主啊，离开我，因为我是个罪人。”9 他和跟他在一起的人，因这网所打的鱼，都十分惊骇。10 西门的伙伴，西庇太的儿子雅各、约翰也是这样。耶稣对西门说：“不要怕！从今以后，你要作得人的渔夫了。”11 他们把两只船拢了岸，撇下一切，跟从了耶稣。
治好痲风病人12 有一次，耶稣在一个城里，突然有一个满身痲风的人看见他，就把脸伏在地上，求他说：“主啊！如果你肯，必能使我洁净。”13 耶稣伸手摸他，说：“我肯，你洁净了吧！”痲风立刻离开了他。14 耶稣嘱咐他不可告诉任何人，“你只要去给祭司检查，并且照着摩西所规定的，为你得洁净献祭，好向大家作证。”15 但他的名声却越发传扬出去，成群的人来聚集，要听道，并且要使他们的疾病痊愈。16 耶稣却退到旷野去祷告。
治好瘫子17 有一天，耶稣正在教导人，法利赛人和律法教师也坐在那里，他们是从加利利和犹太各乡村，并耶路撒冷来的；主的能力与他同在，叫他能医病。18 有人用床抬着一个瘫子，想送进去，放在耶稣跟前。19 因为人多，没有办法进去，就上了房顶，从瓦间把瘫子和床往当中缒下去，正在耶稣跟前。20 他看见他们的信心，就说：“朋友，你的罪赦了。”21 经学家和法利赛人就议论起来，说：“这人是谁，竟然说僭妄的话？除 神一位以外，谁能赦罪呢？”22 耶稣知道他们的议论，就对他们说：“你们心里为甚么议论呢？23 说：‘你的罪赦了’，或说：‘起来行走’，哪一样容易呢？24 然而为了要你们知道，人子在地上有赦罪的权柄，我吩咐你，起来，拿起你的床，回家去吧。”25 那人立刻当众起来，拿着他躺过的床，颂讚 神，回家去了。26 众人都惊奇，颂讚 神，并且十分惧怕，说：“我们今天看见了不平常的事。”
呼召利未27 事后，耶稣出去，看见一个税吏，名叫利未，坐在税关那里，就对他说：“来跟从我！”28 他就撇下一切，起来跟从了耶稣。29 利未在自己家里，为他大摆筵席，有许多税吏和别的人一起吃饭。30 法利赛人和经学家埋怨他的门徒，说：“你们为甚么跟税吏和罪人一起吃喝呢？”31 耶稣回答：“健康的人不需要医生，有病的人才需要。32 我来不是要召义人，而是要召罪人悔改。”
新旧的比喻33 他们说：“约翰的门徒常常禁食、祈祷，法利赛人的门徒也是这样，而你的门徒却又吃又喝。”34 耶稣说：“新郎跟宾客在一起的时候，你们怎么可以叫宾客禁食呢？35 但日子到了，新郎要被取去，离开他们，那一天他们就要禁食了。”36 他又对他们设个比喻说：“没有人会从新衣服撕下一块布，补在旧衣服上，如果这样，不但新衣服撕破了，而且新撕下的布，也和旧的不调和。37 也没有人会把新酒装在旧皮袋里；如果这样，新酒就会把皮袋胀破，不但酒漏掉，皮袋也损坏了；38 人总是把新酒装在新皮袋里。39 喝惯陈酒的人，就不想喝新酒，他总说陈的好。”

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
