Jesus Heals the Paralyzed Man Let Down Through the Roof |
Luke 5:1-39 The Gospel According to Luke [in Smaller Chunks |
And it [happened,] that [Jesus] stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, as the people pressed, [a.k.a. crowded] upon [Jesus] to hear the Word of God. And [Jesus] saw 2 ships standing [still] by the lake, [because] the fishermen [had] gone out of them, & were washing their nets. |
And [Jesus] entered into 1 of the ships, [that] was Simon's, & [requested] that [Simon] would [push] out a little from the land. And [Jesus] sat down, & taught the people out of the ship. Now, when [Jesus] had [stopped] speaking, He said to Simon, Launch out into the deep [waters,] & let down your nets for a [large] [catch.] |
And Simon answering, said to [Jesus,] Master, [a.k.a. Teacher,] we have [worked hard] all night, & have [caught] nothing. [Still,] at Your Word, I will let down, [a.k.a. lower,] the net. And when they had done this, they [enclosed] a [large] multitude of [fish,] & their net [broke.] |
And they beckoned, [a.k.a. motioned,] to their partners, [who] were in the other ship, [so] that they should come & help them. And they came, & filled both ships, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, [Leave] from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. |
For [Peter] was astonished, & all [those, who] were with him, at the [large] [catch] of [fish] they had [caught.] And also James, & John, [Zebedee's] sons, [who] were [Simon's] partners, [were astonished.] And Jesus said to Simon, [Don't] fear. From [now on,] you shall catch men. |
And when they had brought their ships to land, they [abandoned] all, & followed [Jesus.] And it [happened,] when [Jesus] was in a certain city, [saw] a man full of leprosy, who [saw] Jesus & fell on his face, & [begged Jesus,] saying, Lord, if You [will,] You can make me clean. |
*And [Jesus] put [out] his hand, & touched him, saying, I will, you [will] be clean. And immediately, the leprosy [left] from him. [Psalm 103:2-4 *Bless the Lord, O my soul, & [don't] forget all His benefits: Who [forgives] all your [sins;] Who [heals] all your diseases; Who [redeems] your life from destruction; Who [crowns] you with loving kindness & tender mercies.] |
And [Jesus] charged him to tell no man. But go, & [show] yourself to the priest, for a testimony to them, & offer according as Moses commanded for your cleansing. But fame went [out even] more [about] [Jesus.] And [large] multitudes] came together to hear, & to [have] their infirmities, [a.k.a. illnesses,] to be healed by [Jesus.] |
And [Jesus] withdrew Himself into the wilderness, & prayed. And it [happened] on a [particular] day, as [Jesus] was teaching, that there were Pharisees & doctors of the law, sitting [near] by, [who had] come out of every town of: Galilee, Judaea, [a.k.a. Judea,] & Jerusalem. |
And the power of the Lord was present to heal them. And, [saw,] men brought in a bed [with] a man, [who was paralyzed.] And they [searched] [for] means to bring him in, & lay him [in front of Jesus.] |
And when they couldn't find [a] way by [which] they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, & let down, [a.k.a. lowered,] him with his couch, through the tiling, & into the [middle in front of] Jesus. |
*And when [Jesus] saw their faith, [Jesus] said to him, Man, your sins are forgiven you. [Isaiah 49:7-8 *The Lord [says this,] the Redeemer of Israel, & His Holy One, to Him, Whom man [despises,] to Him, Whom the nations [loathe,] to a Servant of rulers. Kings shall see & arise, & princes shall also worship, because of the Lord, [Who] is faithful. |
And He, the Holy One of Israel, shall choose You. *The Lord [says this,] In an acceptable time, I have heard You, & [on] a day of Salvation, I have helped You. And I will preserve You, & give You for a covenant, [a.k.a. contract for] the people, to establish the earth, & to cause the desolate heritages, to [be] [inherited.] |
And the scribes & Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who can forgive sins, but God alone? [Matthew 20:28 *Even [like] the Son of Man [didn't come] to be ministered to, but to minister, & to give His life, [as] a ransom for many.] |
But when Jesus [realized] their thoughts, He [answered] & said to them, What [do] you reason in your hearts? [Which] is easier to say, Your sins [are] forgiven you; or to say, Rise up & walk? *But [so] that you may know that the Son of Man [has] power upon earth to forgive sins, ([Jesus] said to the sick, [paralyzed] [man,]) I say to you, Arise, & take up your couch, & go to your house. |
And immediately he rose up, [in front of] them, & took up [what] he lay [on,] & [left] to his own house, glorifying God. [Isaiah 35:5-6 *Then, the eyes of the blind shall be opened, & the ears of the deaf shall be [unplugged.] *Then, the lame man shall leap [like a deer,] & the tongue of the [mute] [shall] sing. For waters shall break out in the wilderness, & streams in the desert.] |
And they were all amazed, & they glorified God, & were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things today. And after these things, [Jesus] went [out,] & saw a publican, [a.k.a. tax collector,] named Levi, sitting at the [customs office.] |
And [Jesus] said to [Levi,] Follow Me. And [Levi] left all, rose up, & followed [Jesus.] And Levi made [Jesus] a [large] feast in his own house. And there was a [large] company of publicans, & others [who] sat down with them. But their scribes & Pharisees [grumbled] against [Jesus'] disciples, saying, Why do you eat & drink with publicans & sinners? |
And Jesus, answering, said to them, [Those, who] are whole [don't] need a physician; but [those, who] are sick. I [didn't come] to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance. And they said to [Jesus,] Why do the disciples of John, fast often, & make prayers, & [also] the [Pharisees'] disciples, but [Yours] eat & drink? |
*And [Jesus] said to them, Can you make the children of the [bride's chamber, a.k.a. friends of the bride,] fast, while the bridegroom is with them? *But the days will [happen,] when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, & they shall fast in those days. [Mark 16:10-11 *And she, [a.k.a. Mary Magdalene,] went & told [those, who] had been with [Jesus,] as they mourned & wept. And when they had heard that [Jesus] was alive, & had been seen [by] her, [didn't believe.] |
*And [Jesus] also [spoke] a parable to them. [Psalm 78:1-4 [Listen,] O My people, to My Law. [Lean] your ears to the Words of My mouth. *I will open My mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old, [that] we have heard & known, & our [forefathers] have told us. We won't hide them from their children, [declaring] the praises of the Lord, His strength, & His wonderful works, [a.k.a.miracles,] He has done, to the generation to come.] |
No man [puts] a piece [from] a new garment, [into] an old [garment.] If otherwise, then, both the new [material] makes a [tear,] & the piece that was taken out of the new [garment] doesn't agree with the old. |
And no man [puts] new wine into old bottles, else the new wine will burst the bottles, & be spilled, & the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles, [so] both are preserved. Also, no man having drunk old wine, [immediately desires] new [wine,] for he [says,] The old [wine] is better. |
