1 Now it happened, while the people were crowding around Jesus and listening to the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
1 Y ACONTECIÓ, que estando él junto al lago de Genezaret, las gentes se agolpaban sobre él para oir la palabra de Dios.
2 He saw two boats pulled up by the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
2 Y vió dos barcos que estaban cerca de la orilla del lago: y los pescadores, habiendo descendido de ellos, lavaban sus redes.
3 Jesus got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put it out in the water a short distance from the land. Then he sat down and taught the people out of the boat.
3 Y entrado en uno de estos barcos, el cual era de Simón, le rogó que lo desviase de tierra un poco; y sentándose, enseñaba desde el barco á las gentes.
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Take the boat out into the deeper water and let down your nets for a catch.”
4 Y como cesó de hablar, dijo á Simón: Tira á alta mar, y echad vuestras redes para pescar.
5 Simon answered and said, “Master, we worked all night, and caught nothing, but at your word, I will let down the nets.”
5 Y respondiendo Simón, le dijo: Maestro, habiendo trabajado toda la noche, nada hemos tomado; mas en tu palabra echaré la red.
6 When they had done this, they gathered a very large number of fish, and their nets were breaking.
6 Y habiéndolo hecho, encerraron gran multitud de pescado, que su red se rompía.
7 So they motioned to their partners in the other boat that they should come and help them. They came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
7 E hicieron señas á los compañeros [que estaban] en el otro barco, que viniesen á ayudarles; y vinieron, y llenaron ambos barcos, de tal manera que se anegaban.
8 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”
8 Lo cual viendo Simón Pedro, se derribó de rodillas á Jesús, diciendo: Apártate de mí, Señor, porque soy hombre pecador.
9 For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken.
9 Porque temor le había rodeado, y á todos los que estaban con él, de la presa de los peces que habían tomado;
10 This included James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid, because from now on you will catch men.”
10 Y asimismo á Jacobo y á Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, que eran compañeros de Simón. Y Jesús dijo á Simón: No temas: desde ahora pescarás hombres.
11 When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
11 Y como llegaron á tierra los barcos, dejándolo todo, le siguieron.
12 It came about that while he was in one of the cities, a man full of leprosy was there. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
12 Y aconteció que estando en una ciudad, he aquí un hombre lleno de lepra, el cual viendo á Jesús, postrándose sobre el rostro, le rogó, diciendo: Señor, si quieres, puedes limpiarme.
13 Then Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
13 Entonces, extendiendo la mano, le tocó diciendo: Quiero: sé limpio. Y luego la lepra se fué de él.
14 He instructed him to tell no one, but told him, “Go on your way, and show yourself to the priest and offer a sacrifice for your cleansing, according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
14 Y él le mandó que no lo dijese á nadie: Mas ve, [díjole], muéstrate al sacerdote, y ofrece por tu limpieza, como mandó Moisés, para testimonio á ellos.
15 But the report about him spread even farther, and large crowds of people came together to hear him teach and to be healed of their sicknesses.
15 Empero tanto más se extendía su fama: y se juntaban muchas gentes á oir y ser sanadas de sus enfermedades.
16 But he often withdrew into the deserted places and prayed.
16 Mas él se apartaba á los desiertos, y oraba.
17 It came about on one of those days that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there who had come from many different villages in the regions of Galilee and Judea, and also from the town of Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal.
17 Y aconteció un día, que él estaba enseñando, y los Fariseos y doctores de la ley estaban sentados, los cuales habían venido de todas las aldeas de Galilea, y de Judea y Jerusalem: y la virtud del Señor estaba [allí] para sanarlos.
18 Now some men came, carrying on a mat a man that was paralyzed, and they looked for a way to bring him inside in order to lay him down in front of Jesus.
18 Y he aquí unos hombres, que traían sobre un lecho un hombre que estaba paralítico; y buscaban meterle, y ponerle delante de él.
19 They could not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, so they went up to the housetop and let the man down through the tiles, on his mat, into the midst of the people, right in front of Jesus.
19 Y no hallando por donde meterle á causa de la multitud, subieron encima de la casa, y por el tejado le bajaron con el lecho en medio, delante de Jesús;
20 Seeing their faith, Jesus said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
20 El cual, viendo la fe de ellos, le dice: Hombre, tus pecados te son perdonados.
21 The scribes and the Pharisees began to question this, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
21 Entonces los escribas y los Fariseos comenzaron á pensar, diciendo: ¿Quién es éste que habla blasfemias? ¿Quién puede perdonar pecados sino sólo Dios?
22 But Jesus, perceiving what they were thinking, answered and said to them, “Why are you questioning this in your hearts?
22 Jesús entonces, conociendo los pensamientos de ellos, respondiendo les dijo: ¿Qué pensáis en vuestros corazones?
23 Which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you' or to say 'Get up and walk?'
23 ¿Qué es más fácil, decir: Tus pecados te son perdonados, ó decir: Levántate y anda?
24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,”—he said to the paralysed man—”I tell you, get up, pick up your mat and go to your house.”
24 Pues para que sepáis que el Hijo del hombre tiene potestad en la tierra de perdonar pecados, (dice al paralítico): A ti digo, levántate, toma tu lecho, y vete á tu casa.
25 Immediately he got up in front of them and picked up the mat on which he was lying. Then he went away to his house, glorifying God.
25 Y luego, levantándose en presencia de ellos, y tomando aquel en que estaba echado, se fué á su casa, glorificando á Dios.
26 Everyone was amazed and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”
26 Y tomó espanto á todos, y glorificaban á Dios; y fueron llenos de temor, diciendo: Hemos visto maravillas hoy.
27 After these things happened, Jesus went out from there and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax collector's tent. He said to him, “Follow me.”
27 Y después de estas cosas salió, y vió á un publicano llamado Leví, sentado al banco de los públicos tributos, y le dijo: Sígueme.
28 So Levi got up and followed him, leaving everything behind.
28 Y dejadas todas las cosas, levantándose, le siguió.
29 Then Levi gave a big banquet in his house for Jesus. There were many tax collectors there and other people who were reclining at the table and eating with them.
29 E hizo Leví gran banquete en su casa; y había mucha compañía de publicanos y de otros, los cuales estaban á la mesa con ellos.
30 But the Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and other sinful people?”
30 Y los escribas y los Fariseos murmuraban contra sus discípulos, diciendo: ¿Por qué coméis y bebéis con los publicanos y pecadores?
31 Jesus answered them, “People who are well do not need a physician; only those who are sick.
31 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Los que están sanos no necesitan médico, sino los que están enfermos.
32 I did not come to call righteous people to repentance, but to call sinners to repentance.”
32 No he venido á llamar justos, sino pecadores á arrepentimiento.
33 They said to him, “The disciples of John often fast and pray, and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same. But your disciples eat and drink.”
33 Entonces ellos le dijeron: ¿Por qué los discípulos de Juan ayunan muchas veces y hacen oraciones, y asimismo los de los Fariseos, y tus discípulos comen y beben?
34 Jesus said to them, “Can anyone make the wedding attendants of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is still with them?
34 Y él les dijo: ¿Podéis hacer que los que están de bodas ayunen, entre tanto que el esposo está con ellos?
35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, then in those days they will fast.”
35 Empero vendrán días cuando el esposo les será quitado: entonces ayunarán en aquellos días.
36 Then Jesus also spoke a parable to them. “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and uses it to mend an old garment. If he did that, he would tear the new garment, and the piece of cloth from the new garment would not fit with the cloth of the old garment.
36 Y les decía también una parábola: Nadie mete remiendo de paño nuevo en vestido viejo; de otra manera el nuevo rompe, y al viejo no conviene remiendo nuevo.
37 No one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does that, the new wine would burst the skins, and the wine would be spilled, and the wineskins would be destroyed.
37 Y nadie echa vino nuevo en cueros viejos; de otra manera el vino nuevo romperá los cueros, y el vino se derramará, y los cueros se perderán.
38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
38 Mas el vino nuevo en cueros nuevos se ha de echar; y lo uno y lo otro se conserva.
39 No one after drinking old wine wants the new, for he says, 'The old is better.'”
39 Y ninguno que bebiere del añejo, quiere luego el nuevo; porque dice: El añejo es mejor.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But that the Lord came as the physician of the sick, He does Himself declare saying, "They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." How then shall the sick be strengthened, or how shall sinners come to repentance?
There the multitude of fishes caught was so great, that the two vessels were filled and began to sink, that is, were weighed down to the point of sinking; for they did not actually sink, but were in extreme jeopardy.
