2. 2BYZκαι ειδεν δυο πλοια εστωτα παρα την λιμνην οι δε αλιεισ αποβαντεσ απ αυτων απεπλυναν τα δικτυαBSBBSB: He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.
3. 3BYZεμβασ δε εισ εν των πλοιων ο ην του σιμωνοσ ηρωτησεν αυτον απο τησ γησ επαναγαγειν ολιγον και καθισασ εδιδασκεν εκ του πλοιου τουσ οχλουσBSBBSB: Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.
4. 4BYZωσ δε επαυσατο λαλων ειπεν προσ τον σιμωνα επαναγαγε εισ το βαθοσ και χαλασατε τα δικτυα υμων εισ αγρανBSBBSB: When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
5. 5BYZκαι αποκριθεισ ο σιμων ειπεν αυτω επιστατα δι ολησ τησ νυκτοσ κοπιασαντεσ ουδεν ελαβομεν επι δε τω ρηματι σου χαλασω το δικτυονBSBBSB: “Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”
6. 6BYZκαι τουτο ποιησαντεσ συνεκλεισαν πληθοσ ιχθυων πολυ διερρηγνυτο δε το δικτυον αυτωνBSBBSB: When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.
7. 7BYZκαι κατενευσαν τοισ μετοχοισ τοισ εν τω ετερω πλοιω του ελθοντασ συλλαβεσθαι αυτοισ και ηλθον και επλησαν αμφοτερα τα πλοια ωστε βυθιζεσθαι αυταBSBBSB: So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

9. 9BYZθαμβοσ γαρ περιεσχεν αυτον και παντασ τουσ συν αυτω επι τη αγρα των ιχθυων η συνελαβονBSBBSB: For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,
10. 10BYZομοιωσ δε και ιακωβον και ιωαννην υιουσ ζεβεδαιου οι ησαν κοινωνοι τω σιμωνι και ειπεν προσ τον σιμωνα ο ιησουσ μη φοβου απο του νυν ανθρωπουσ εση ζωγρωνBSBBSB: and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”
11. 11BYZκαι καταγαγοντεσ τα πλοια επι την γην αφεντεσ απαντα ηκολουθησαν αυτωBSBBSB: And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.
12. 12BYZκαι εγενετο εν τω ειναι αυτον εν μια των πολεων και ιδου ανηρ πληρησ λεπρασ και ιδων τον ιησουν πεσων επι προσωπον εδεηθη αυτου λεγων κυριε εαν θελησ δυνασαι με καθαρισαιBSBBSB: While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
13. 13BYZκαι εκτεινασ την χειρα ηψατο αυτου ειπων θελω καθαρισθητι και ευθεωσ η λεπρα απηλθεν απ αυτουBSBBSB: Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.
14. 14BYZκαι αυτοσ παρηγγειλεν αυτω μηδενι ειπειν αλλα απελθων δειξον σεαυτον τω ιερει και προσενεγκε περι του καθαρισμου σου καθωσ προσεταξεν μωσησ εισ μαρτυριον αυτοισBSBBSB: “Do not tell anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
15. 15BYZδιηρχετο δε μαλλον ο λογοσ περι αυτου και συνηρχοντο οχλοι πολλοι ακουειν και θεραπευεσθαι υπ αυτου απο των ασθενειων αυτωνBSBBSB: But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
16. 16BYZαυτοσ δε ην υποχωρων εν ταισ ερημοισ και προσευχομενοσBSBBSB: Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.
17. 17BYZκαι εγενετο εν μια των ημερων και αυτοσ ην διδασκων και ησαν καθημενοι φαρισαιοι και νομοδιδασκαλοι οι ησαν εληλυθοτεσ εκ πασησ κωμησ τησ γαλιλαιασ και ιουδαιασ και ιερουσαλημ και δυναμισ κυριου ην εισ το ιασθαι αυτουσBSBBSB: One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there.

19. 19BYZκαι μη ευροντεσ ποιασ εισενεγκωσιν αυτον δια τον οχλον αναβαντεσ επι το δωμα δια των κεραμων καθηκαν αυτον συν τω κλινιδιω εισ το μεσον εμπροσθεν του ιησουBSBBSB: but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.
20. 20BYZκαι ιδων την πιστιν αυτων ειπεν αυτω ανθρωπε αφεωνται σοι αι αμαρτιαι σουBSBBSB: When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
21. 21BYZκαι ηρξαντο διαλογιζεσθαι οι γραμματεισ και οι φαρισαιοι λεγοντεσ τισ εστιν ουτοσ οσ λαλει βλασφημιασ τισ δυναται αφιεναι αμαρτιασ ει μη μονοσ ο θεοσBSBBSB: But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
22. 22BYZεπιγνουσ δε ο ιησουσ τουσ διαλογισμουσ αυτων αποκριθεισ ειπεν προσ αυτουσ τι διαλογιζεσθε εν ταισ καρδιαισ υμωνBSBBSB: Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
23. 23BYZτι εστιν ευκοπωτερον ειπειν αφεωνται σοι αι αμαρτιαι σου η ειπειν εγειραι και περιπατειBSBBSB: Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?
24. 24BYZινα δε ειδητε οτι εξουσιαν εχει ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου επι τησ γησ αφιεναι αμαρτιασ ειπεν τω παραλελυμενω σοι λεγω εγειραι και αρασ το κλινιδιον σου πορευου εισ τον οικον σουBSBBSB: But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins…” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
25. 25BYZκαι παραχρημα αναστασ ενωπιον αυτων αρασ εφ ο κατεκειτο απηλθεν εισ τον οικον αυτου δοξαζων τον θεονBSBBSB: And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.
26. 26BYZκαι εκστασισ ελαβεν απαντασ και εδοξαζον τον θεον και επλησθησαν φοβου λεγοντεσ οτι ειδομεν παραδοξα σημερονBSBBSB: Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”
27. 27BYZκαι μετα ταυτα εξηλθεν και εθεασατο τελωνην ονοματι λευιν καθημενον επι το τελωνιον και ειπεν αυτω ακολουθει μοιBSBBSB: After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,
28. 28BYZκαι καταλιπων απαντα αναστασ ηκολουθησεν αυτωBSBBSB: and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.
29. 29BYZκαι εποιησεν δοχην μεγαλην λευισ αυτω εν τη οικια αυτου και ην οχλοσ τελωνων πολυσ και αλλων οι ησαν μετ αυτων κατακειμενοιBSBBSB: Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.
30. 30BYZκαι εγογγυζον οι γραμματεισ αυτων και οι φαρισαιοι προσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου λεγοντεσ δια τι μετα των τελωνων και αμαρτωλων εσθιετε και πινετεBSBBSB: But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31. 31BYZκαι αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν προσ αυτουσ ου χρειαν εχουσιν οι υγιαινοντεσ ιατρου αλλ οι κακωσ εχοντεσBSBBSB: Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
32. 32BYZουκ εληλυθα καλεσαι δικαιουσ αλλα αμαρτωλουσ εισ μετανοιανBSBBSB: I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
33. 33BYZοι δε ειπον προσ αυτον δια τι οι μαθηται ιωαννου νηστευουσιν πυκνα και δεησεισ ποιουνται ομοιωσ και οι των φαρισαιων οι δε σοι εσθιουσιν και πινουσινBSBBSB: Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”
34. 34BYZο δε ειπεν προσ αυτουσ μη δυνασθε τουσ υιουσ του νυμφωνοσ εν ω ο νυμφιοσ μετ αυτων εστιν ποιησαι νηστευεινBSBBSB: Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?
35. 35BYZελευσονται δε ημεραι και οταν απαρθη απ αυτων ο νυμφιοσ τοτε νηστευσουσιν εν εκειναισ ταισ ημεραισBSBBSB: But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”
36. 36BYZελεγεν δε και παραβολην προσ αυτουσ οτι ουδεισ επιβλημα ιματιου καινου επιβαλλει επι ιματιον παλαιον ει δε μηγε και το καινον σχιζει και τω παλαιω ου συμφωνει το απο του καινουBSBBSB: He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.
37. 37BYZκαι ουδεισ βαλλει οινον νεον εισ ασκουσ παλαιουσ ει δε μηγε ρηξει ο νεοσ οινοσ τουσ ασκουσ και αυτοσ εκχυθησεται και οι ασκοι απολουνταιBSBBSB: And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined.
38. 38BYZαλλα οινον νεον εισ ασκουσ καινουσ βλητεον και αμφοτεροι συντηρουνταιBSBBSB: Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.
39. 39BYZκαι ουδεισ πιων παλαιον ευθεωσ θελει νεον λεγει γαρ ο παλαιοσ χρηστοτεροσ εστινBSBBSB: And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
