Luke

And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.

And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.

And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.

Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?

But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.

And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus" knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon"s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
