Luke Chapter 5

Luke 5

Fisher-men are called to become disciples after a miracle of a big-catch

1 Moreover, there happens that, the crowd are pressing upon Him, to hear the word of God, and He was present beside a pond (lake) of Genesaret:

2 And He saw two boats, standing still beside the pond, and out of which their fisher-men have disembarked, rinsing their nets.

3 So, He embarks into one of the boats, which is Simon's, and asks him to move up a little distant away from the land. So, HE settles down to teach the crowd, out of the boat.

4 Moreover, as He paused the preaching, He says to Simon, move up into the deep sea and lower your net unto a catch.

5 And in responding, Simon says, Commander (Epistata) we have worked hard through the whole night, and have taken nothing, but upon Your utterance (rhema), I will lower the net.

6 And as they do this, they encloses together, many multitudes of fishes; which tears their net.

7 And they make-sign to fellow associates in another boat, who has come to catch with them; and as they come, they fill up both boats, in so much that they were sinking.

8 So, having discerned Him, Simon Peter fall down at the knee of Jesus, saying, Lord, I am a fellow-man who should proceed forth away from sinful things. 

9 however, he was held dumbfounded, and all those with him, upon the catch of fishes they captured;

10 And Jesus says to Simon and similarly to James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who are Simon associates, fear not; from now you will be taking men alive.

11 And as they brought the boats down upon the land, they left absolutely everything, and follow Him.

Jesus instantly heals a leper who wrongly judge the mind of Jesus (compare to Lk 17:12)

12 And He happens to be in one of the cities, and behold, a man full of scaliness (leprosy), sees  Jesus, and upon falling down in front of Him, begs Him, and says, Lord, provided You desire, You can cleanse me.

13 And He stretches out hands, to touch him, saying, I desire; be made cleansed! And immediately, the leprosy departs from him.

14 And he was instructed; speak to no one, but go away, and show yourself to the High priest, and offers up (gift) concerning your purification, just as Moses commanded, unto a testimony to them.

15 However, much more words are spread abroad concerning Him; and many crowds assemble to hear Him, and to be ministered healing to, from their infirmities.

Jesus prayed alone 

16 So, He withdraws to a desert even to make prayer (to God).

Jesus operates with Imperial unction to give parole to a sinner under punishment 

@His house in carpernaum

17 And it happens to be in one of the days, He was steaching, and the Pharisees and the teachers of the Jewish-law, and those who have come out of all the villages of Galilee, and of Judea, and Jerusalem were sitting down. And the power of the Supreme God is unto healing them.

18 And behold, fellow-men carry a man who has been paralyzed upon a couch, and they seek (for means) to carry him inside, and to be set before Him.

19 but, they could not find by what means to carry him inside through the crowd. So, they go up upon the roof, through the tiles, and lower him, together with the couch into the middle, before Jesus.

20 And having clearly discerned their Faith, He says, man, I let you go of your sin.

21 And the Scribes and the Pharisees begin to deliberate, saying, who is this, preaching blasphemy? Who is able to let go of sins, if not God only?

22 But, Jesus perceives their imagination, He answers and speak to them, what are you reasoning in your heart?

23 which (one) is a easier (more facile), to say, you are let go of your sins, or to say, arise and walk?

24 but, at least, you are aware that the children of Adam have authority on earth to let go of sins. And having spoken, he told the paralyzed man, who has risen up, you, take up your couch (pallet), and depart unto your house.

25 and, without any useful intervention (parachrema), he stands up before them, take up that, on which he was laid, and departs unto his house, glorifying God.

26 And absolutely everyone was held in ecstasy, and they glorify God. And they were filled up with fear, saying, we have seen an extraordinary thing (paradox) today.

Jesus called a sinful Matthew (a levite and decath collector) who changed to people's tax-collector, twas finally changed to collector of saved-people.

27 And amid these things, He proceeds forth, and look closely at a tax-collector, sitting upon tax booth, whose name is of the Levites (Lewis), and He says, follow Me.

28 And he leaves absolutely all behind and stand up, to follow Him.

29 And the same who is of the Levite (Lewis) make a mega reception in His house, and many company of tax collectors and others are with them, who sit down at the meal.

30 And the Pharisees and their Scribes grumble towards His disciples, saying, because of what, do you eat and drink amid sinful tax collectors?

31 and Jesus answers and says to them, those with sound health has no need of physician, but those have sickness.

32 I have not come to call the Righteous, but sinners, unto repentance.

Jesus educates the Pharisees and Scribes on Fasting

33 And they say to Him, John's disciples do fast often, and make supplications, likewise those of the Pharisees; but Yours, eat and drink?

34 But Jesus says to them, it is not possible to make the children in bride-chamber to fast while the bridegroom is with them.

35 but the days are coming in which the bridegroom will be taken away from them, then in that day, they will fast.

Parable of the need for a new-container for new-content 

*(compare to Matt 9 & Mk 2: it is not a parable per se )*

36 so, He even say a parable to them, at new-age, no one cast a patch/emblem upon an old garment, otherwise, the patch will split/sever away from the garment. And if at new-age, the old will split/sever, moreover, things of the new-age will not match with things away from the old, (Matt 9:16) 

37 No one will put fresh (neon) wine into an old skin-bag; and if otherwise, the fresh-wine will break the skin-bag, and it will spilled out, and even the skin-bag will be destroyed;

38 but, at NEW-AGE, wine is fit to be put into a fresh skin-bag, (and both will agree together).

Why the Judaists will not give-in so easily for Christianity. 

39  and no-one who has imbibed/drunk the old will immediately desire the brand-new; because he would say, the old has been useful.
