¹	Now it came to pass, while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;
²	and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
³	And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat.
⁴	And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
⁵	And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy word I will let down the nets.
⁶	And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking;
⁷	and they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
⁸	But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
⁹	For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken;

¹⁵	But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.
¹⁶	But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed.
¹⁷	And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.
¹⁸	And behold, men bring on a bed a man that was palsied: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
¹⁹	And not finding by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
²⁰	And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
²¹	And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
²²	But Jesus perceiving their reasonings, answered and said unto them, Why reason ye in your hearts?
²³	Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?
²⁴	But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he said unto him that was palsied), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thy house.
²⁵	And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his house, glorifying God.

³⁰	And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans and sinners?
³¹	And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician; but they that are sick.
³²	I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
³³	And they said unto him, The disciples of John fast often, and make supplications; likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink.
³⁴	And Jesus said unto them, Can ye make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
³⁵	But the days will come; and when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days.
³⁶	And he spake also a parable unto them: No man rendeth a piece from a new garment and putteth it upon an old garment; else he will rend the new, and also the piece from the new will not agree with the old.
³⁷	And no man putteth new wine into old wine-skins; else the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be spilled, and the skins will perish.
³⁸	But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins.
