路加福音 5
第一批门徒
1 有一次，当人群拥挤着耶稣，听神的话语t的时候，他正站在革尼撒勒湖边t。2 他看见湖边停着两条船，渔夫们下了船，正在洗网。3 有一条船是西门的，耶稣上去，请他把船划出去，稍微离岸。耶稣就坐下来，从船上教导众人。
4 讲完了以后，他对西门说：“把船划到水深的地方，下网捕鱼吧。”
5 西门回答说：“老师，我们劳碌了一整夜，什么也没有捕到。不过按照你的话，我就下网吧。”
6 他们这样做了，网住了一大群鱼，渔网几乎要撑破。7 他们就招呼另一条船上的伙伴来帮忙；他们过来，装满了两条船，甚至两条船都几乎要沉下去了。
8 西门彼得看见，就俯伏在耶稣脚t前，说：“主啊，离开我吧，因为我是个罪人！”9 那时，他和所有与他一起的人，都对这一网捕到的鱼惊讶不已。
10 西门的伙伴，就是西庇太的儿子雅各和约翰，也同样惊讶。
耶稣对西门说：“不要怕！从今以后，你将得人了t。”11 他们把两条船靠了岸，舍弃一切跟从了耶稣。
洁净麻风病人
12 有一次，耶稣在一个城里，忽然有个浑身长满麻风的人，看见耶稣就把脸伏在地上，央求他说：“主啊，如果你愿意，你就能洁净我。”
13 耶稣伸出手来摸他，说：“我愿意，你洁净了吧！”立刻离开了他。14 耶稣吩咐他不要告诉任何人，说：“只要去把自己给祭司看，并且为了你的洁净，照着摩西所吩咐的去献上祭物，好对他们做见证。”
15 耶稣的消息反而越发传开了。有一大群人聚集而来，听他传道t，也要他们的病得痊愈。16 耶稣却常常退到旷野去祷告。
赦罪与治病
17 就在那些日子里，有一天耶稣在教导人的时候，也有些法利赛人和律法教师坐在那里，他们是从加利利和犹太地区的各村庄，以及耶路撒冷来的。主的大能与耶稣同在，使他能医病。18 这时候，有几个人用床榻抬来一个瘫痪的人，想把他带进去放在耶稣面前。19 但由于人多，他们没有办法t把他带进去，就爬上屋顶，从屋瓦中间把他和床榻一起缒到众人当中，正在耶稣面前。
20 耶稣看见他们的信心，就对瘫痪的人说：“朋友t，你的罪孽已经被赦免了。”
21 那些经文士和法利赛人就开始想：“这个人是谁？竟说亵渎的话。除了神一位之外，谁能赦免罪呢？”
22 耶稣知道他们的意念，就对他们说：“你们心里为什么这样想呢？23 或说‘你的罪孽已经被赦免了’，或说‘你起来走路’，哪一样更容易呢？24 不过为要使你们知道人子在地上有赦免罪的权柄——”就对瘫痪的人说：“我吩咐你：起来，拿起你的床榻，回家去吧！”
25 那个人立刻在大家面前站了起来，拿起他所躺的床榻回家去，一路上荣耀神。26 于是大家都惊讶不已，就不住地荣耀神，并且满怀敬畏之心说：“我们今天看到奇妙的事了！”
呼召利未
27 这些事以后，耶稣出去，看到一个名叫利未t的税吏，在税关坐着。耶稣对他说：“你跟从我！”28 利未就撇下一切，站起来跟从了耶稣。
与罪人吃饭
29 利未在自己家里为耶稣预备盛大的宴席，有一大群税吏和其他人与他们一同坐席。30 法利赛人和他们的经文士就向耶稣的门徒们抱怨，说：“你们为什么与那些税吏和罪人一起吃喝呢？”
31 耶稣对他们说：“健康的人不需要医生，有病的人才需要。32 我来不是要召唤义人，而是要召唤罪人来悔改。”
禁食的问题
33 他们对耶稣说：“约翰的门徒们经常禁食、祈祷，法利赛人的门徒们也是如此，而你的门徒们却又吃又喝。t”
34 耶稣对他们说：“新郎与宾客t在一起的时候，难道你们能叫宾客禁食吗？35 可是日子将要来到：当新郎从他们中间被带走的时候，他们那时——在那些日子里就要禁食了。”
36 耶稣又对他们讲了一个比喻：“没有人从新衣服上撕下一块布来缝在旧衣服上，否则，他不但撕破了新衣服，而且来自新衣服的那块布与旧衣服不相称。37 也没有人把新酒装在旧皮袋里，否则新酒会胀破旧皮袋，酒会流出来，皮袋也会糟蹋了。38 因此，新酒必须装在新皮袋里。t39 没有人喝了陈酒以后想喝新酒，因为他总说：‘还是陈酒好t。’”
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
