Lucas 5

Ang Pagtawag ni Jesus sa Unang Apat na Alagad

(Mt. 4:18-22; Mc. 1:16-20)

1 Minsan,t habang nakatayo si Jesus sa tabi ng Lawa ng Genesaret, nag-uunahan ang napakaraming tao sa paglapit sa kanya upang makinig ng salita ng Diyos. 2 May nakita siyang dalawang bangka sa tabi ng lawa; wala sa mga bangka ang mga mangingisda kundi nasa lawa at naglilinis ng kanilang mga lambat.

3 Sumakay siya sa isa sa mga bangka at hiniling kay Simon, na may-ari ng bangka, na ilayo ito nang kaunti. Naupo siya sa bangka at nangaral sa mga tao.

4 Pagkatapos niyang mangaral, sinabi niya kay Simon, “Pumalaot kayo at ihulog ang mga lambat upang manghuli.”
5 Sumagott si Simon, “Guro, magdamag po kaming nagpagod ngunit wala kaming nahuli! Ngunit dahil sa sinabi ninyo, ihuhulog ko ang mga lambat.” 6 Ganoont nga ang ginawa nila, at nakahuli sila ng maraming isda, kaya't halos mapunit ang kanilang mga lambat. 7 Kinawayan nila ang kanilang mga kasamahang nasa kabilang bangka upang magpatulong. Lumapit naman ang mga ito at napuno nila ang dalawang bangka, anupa't halos lumubog ang mga ito.

8 Nang makita iyon ni Simon Pedro, siya'y lumuhod sa harap ni Jesus at sinabi, “Layuan po ninyo ako, Panginoon, sapagkat ako'y isang makasalanan.”
9 Nanggilalas siya at ang kanyang mga kasama dahil sa dami ng kanilang huli,

10 gayundin sina Santiago at Juan na mga anak ni Zebedeo at mga kasosyo ni Simon. Sinabi ni Jesus kay Simon, “Huwag ka nang matakot. Mula ngayo'y mga tao na, sa halip na mga isda, ang iyong huhulihin.”

11 Nang maitabi na nila ang mga bangka sa pampang, iniwan nila ang lahat at sumunod kay Jesus.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Ketongin

(Mt. 8:1-4; Mc. 1:40-45)

12 Nang si Jesus ay nasa isang bayan, nakita siya ng isang lalaking ketongin. Nagpatirapa ito at nakiusap, “Panginoon, kung nais po ninyo, ako'y inyong mapapagaling at magagawang malinis.”
13 Hinawakan siya ni Jesus at sinabi, “Nais kong gumaling ka at luminis!” At noon di'y nawala ang kanyang ketong.

14 Pinagbilinant siya ni Jesus, “Huwag mong sasabihin ito kaninuman. Sa halip ay pumunta ka sa pari at magpasuri. Pagkatapos, mag-alay ka ng handog ayon sa iniuutos ni Moises bilang patotoo sa mga tao na ikaw nga'y magaling na.”
15 Ngunit lalo pang kumalat ang balita tungkol kay Jesus, kaya't dumaragsa ang napakaraming tao upang makinig sa kanya at mapagaling sa kanilang mga sakit.

16 Ngunit si Jesus naman ay pumupunta sa mga ilang na lugar upang manalangin.

Pinagaling ang Isang Paralitiko

(Mt. 9:1-8; Mc. 2:1-12)

20 Nang makita ni Jesus ang kanilang pananampalataya, sinabi niya sa paralitiko, “Kaibigan, pinapatawad ka na sa iyong mga kasalanan.”

21 Pagkarinig nito'y nag-usap-usap ang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo, “Sino itong nagsasalita ng kalapastanganan sa Diyos? Hindi ba't Diyos lamang ang makakapagpatawad ng mga kasalanan?”
22 Palibhasa'y alam ni Jesus ang kanilang pag-uusap, sinabi niya sa kanila, “Bakit kayo nag-iisip nang ganyan? 23 Alin ba ang mas madaling sabihin, ‘Pinapatawad ka na sa iyong mga kasalanan,’ o ‘Tumayo ka at lumakad’? 24 Ngunit upang malaman ninyo na ang Anak ng Tao ay may kapangyarihang magpatawad ng mga kasalanan dito sa lupa…” sinabi niya sa paralitiko, “Tumayo ka, buhatin mo ang iyong higaan, at umuwi ka na!” 25 Agad namang tumayo ang lalaki, at sa harap ng lahat ay binuhat niya ang kanyang higaan at umuwing nagpupuri sa Diyos.

26 Nanggilalas ang mga naroroon at nagpuri sila sa Diyos. Sila'y namangha at nagsabi, “Kahanga-hanga ang mga bagay na nasaksihan natin ngayon!”

Ang Pagtawag kay Levi

(Mt. 9:9-13; Mc. 2:13-17)

28 Tumayo nga si Levi, iniwan ang lahat, at sumunod at naglingkod kay Jesus.
29 Si Jesus ay hinandugan ni Levi ng isang malaking handaan sa kanyang bahay. Kasalo niya roon ang maraming maniningil ng buwis at iba pang mga tao.

30 Kaya'tt nagbulung-bulungan ang mga Pariseo at ang mga kasamahan nilang tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Sinabi nila sa mga alagad ni Jesus, “Bakit kayo kumakain at umiinom na kasalo ng mga maniningil ng buwis at ng mga makasalanan?”
31 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Hindi nangangailangan ng manggagamot ang walang sakit kundi ang maysakit.

32 Hindi ako naparito upang tawagin ang mga matuwid, kundi ang mga makasalanan upang sila'y magsisi.”

Katanungan Tungkol sa Pag-aayuno

(Mt. 9:14-17; Mc. 2:18-22)

33 May ilan namang nagsabi kay Jesus ng ganito: “Ang mga alagad ni Juan ay malimit mag-ayuno at manalangin, gayundin ang mga alagad ng mga Pariseo. Bakit ang mga alagad mo'y patuloy sa pagkain at pag-inom?”
34 Sumagot si Jesus, “Dapat bang magayuno ang mga panauhin sa kasalan habang kasama pa nila ang lalaking ikinasal?

35 Darating ang araw na kukunin na ang ikinasal, saka pa lamang sila mag-aayuno.”
36 Sinabi rin niya sa kanila ang isang talinhaga, “Walang sumisira ng bagong damit upang itagpi sa luma. Kapag ganoon ang ginawa, masasayang ang bagong damit at ang tagping mula rito ay hindi naman babagay sa damit na luma. 37 Wala ring naglalagay ng bagong alak sa lumang sisidlang-balat. Kapag ganoon ang ginawa, papuputukin ng bagong alak ang lumang sisidlan, matatapon ang alak at masisira ang sisidlan. 38 Sa bagong sisidlang-balat dapat ilagay ang bagong alak. 39 Wala ring magkakagustong uminom ng bagong alak kapag nakainom na ng lumang alak, sapagkat sasabihin niya, ‘Mas masarap ang lumang alak.’”

LUKE 5

Jesus Chooses His First Disciples

(Matthew 4.18-22; Mark 1.16-20)

1  t Jesus was standing on the shore of Lake Gennesaret, t teaching the people as they crowded around him to hear God's message. 2 Near the shore he saw two boats left there by some fishermen who had gone to wash their nets.

3 Jesus got into the boat that belonged to Simon and asked him to row it out a little way from the shore. Then Jesus sat downt in the boat to teach the crowd.

4 When Jesus had finished speaking, he told Simon, “Row the boat out into the deep water and let your nets down to catch some fish.”
5  t “Master,” Simon answered, “we have worked hard all night long and have not caught a thing. But if you tell me to, I will let the nets down.” 6 t They did this and caught so many fish that their nets began ripping apart.

7 Then they signaled for their partners in the other boat to come and help them. The men came, and together they filled the two boats so full that they both began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw this happen, he knelt down in front of Jesus and said, “Lord, don't come near me! I am a sinner.” 9 Peter and everyone with him were completely surprised at all the fish they had caught.

10 His partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were surprised too.
Jesus told Simon, “Don't be afraid! From now on you will bring in people instead of fish.”

11 The men pulled their boats up on the shore. Then they left everything and went with Jesus.

Jesus Heals a Man

(Matthew 8.1-4; Mark 1.40-45)

12 Jesus came to a town where there was a man who had leprosy.t When the man saw Jesus, he knelt down to the ground in front of Jesus and begged, “Lord, you have the power to make me well, if only you wanted to.”
13 Jesus put his hand on him and said, “I want to! Now you are well.” At once the man's leprosy disappeared.

14 t Jesus told him, “Don't tell anyone about this, but go and show yourself to the priest. Offer a gift to the priest, just as Moses commanded, and everyone will know that you have been healed.”t
15 News about Jesus kept spreading. Large crowds came to listen to him teach and to be healed of their diseases.

16 But Jesus would often go to some place where he could be alone and pray.

Jesus Heals a Man //Who Could Not Walk

(Matthew 9.1-8; Mark 2.1-12)

17 One day some Pharisees and experts in the Law of Moses sat listening to Jesus teach. They had come from every village in Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem.
God had given Jesus the power to heal the sick, 18 and some people came carrying a man on a mat because he could not walk. They tried to take him inside the house and put him in front of Jesus.

19 But because of the crowd, they could not get him to Jesus. So they went up on the roof, t where they removed some tiles and let the mat down in the middle of the room.

20 When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the man, “My friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21 The Pharisees and the experts began arguing, “Jesus must think he is God! Only God can forgive sins.”
22 Jesus knew what they were thinking, and he said, “Why are you thinking this? 23 Is it easier for me to tell this man that his sins are forgiven or to tell him to get up and walk?

24 But now you will see that the Son of Man has the right to forgive sins here on earth.” Jesus then said to the man, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk home.”
25 At once the man stood up in front of everyone. He picked up his mat and went home, giving thanks to God.

26 Everyone was amazed and praised God. What they saw surprised them, and they said, “We have seen a great miracle today!”

Jesus Chooses Levi

(Matthew 9.9-13; Mark 2.13-17)

28 Levi left everything and went with Jesus.

29 In his home Levi gave a big dinner for Jesus. Many tax collectors and other guests were also there.

30  t The Pharisees and some of their teachers of the Law of Moses grumbled to Jesus' disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with these tax collectors and other sinners?”
31 Jesus answered, “Healthy people don't need a doctor, but sick people do.

32 I didn't come to invite good people to turn to God. I came to invite sinners.”

People Ask about Going //without Eating

(Matthew 9.14-17; Mark 2.18-22)

33 Some people said to Jesus, “John's followers often pray and go without eating, t and so do the followers of the Pharisees. But your disciples never go without eating or drinking.”
34 Jesus told them, “The friends of a bridegroom don't go without eating while he is still with them.

35 But the time will come when he will be taken from them. Then they will go without eating.”

36 Jesus then told them these sayings:
No one uses a new piece of cloth to patch old clothes. The patch would shrink and make the hole even bigger.
37 No one pours new wine into old wineskins. The new wine would swell and burst the old skins.t Then the wine would be lost, and the skins would be ruined.

38 New wine must be put only into new wineskins.
39 No one wants new wine after drinking old wine. They say, “The old wine is better.”
