Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Ενώ δε ο όχλος συνέθλιβεν αυτόν διά να ακούη τον λόγον του Θεού, αυτός ίστατο πλησίον της λίμνης Γεννησαρέτ,
1 Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
2 και είδε δύο πλοία ιστάμενα παρά την λίμνην οι δε αλιείς αποβάντες απ' αυτών εξέπλυναν τα δίκτυα.
2 He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3 Εμβάς δε εις εν των πλοίων, το οποίον ήτο του Σίμωνος, παρεκάλεσεν αυτόν να απομακρύνη αυτό ολίγον από της γης, και καθήσας εδίδασκεν εκ του πλοίου τους όχλους.
3 He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
4 Καθώς δε έπαυσε λαλών, είπε προς τον Σίμωνα· Επανάγαγε το πλοίον εις τα βαθέα και ρίψατε τα δίκτυα υμών διά να οψαρεύσητε.
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Και αποκριθείς ο Σίμων, είπε προς αυτόν· Διδάσκαλε, δι' όλης της νυκτός κοπιάσαντες δεν επιάσαμεν ουδέν· αλλ' όμως επί τω λόγω σου θέλω ρίψει το δίκτυον.
5 Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”
6 Και αφού έκαμον τούτο, συνέκλεισαν πλήθος πολύ ιχθύων και διεσχίζετο το δίκτυον αυτών.
6 When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
7 Και έκαμον νεύμα εις τους συντρόφους τους εν τω άλλω πλοίω, διά να έλθωσι να βοηθήσωσιν αυτούς· και ήλθον και εγέμισαν αμφότερα τα πλοία, ώστε εβυθίζοντο.
7 They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
8 Ιδών δε ο Σίμων Πέτρος, προσέπεσε προς τα γόνατα του Ιησού, λέγων· Έξελθε απ' εμού, διότι είμαι άνθρωπος αμαρτωλός, Κύριε.
8 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”
9 Επειδή έκπληξις κατέλαβεν αυτόν και πάντας τους μετ' αυτού διά την άγραν των ιχθύων, την οποίαν συνέλαβον,
9 For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
10 ομοίως δε και τον Ιάκωβον και Ιωάννην, τους υιούς του Ζεβεδαίου, οίτινες ήσαν σύντροφοι του Σίμωνος. Και είπε προς τον Σίμωνα ο Ιησούς· Μη φοβού· από του νυν ανθρώπους θέλεις αγρεύει.
10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”
11 Και αφού έφεραν τα πλοία επί την γην, αφήσαντες άπαντα ηκολούθησαν αυτόν.
11 When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
12 Και ενώ ήτο εν μιά των πόλεων ιδού, άνθρωπος πλήρης λέπρας· και ιδών τον Ιησούν, έπεσε κατά πρόσωπον και παρεκάλεσεν αυτόν, λέγων· Κύριε, εάν θέλης, δύνασαι να με καθαρίσης.
12 While he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
13 Και εκτείνας την χείρα, ήγγισεν αυτόν και είπε· Θέλω, καθαρίσθητι. Και ευθύς η λέπρα έφυγεν απ' αυτού.
13 He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
14 Και αυτός παρήγγειλεν αυτόν να μη είπη τούτο προς μηδένα, αλλ' ύπαγε, λέγει, και δείξον σεαυτόν εις τον ιερέα και πρόσφερε περί του καθαρισμού σου, καθώς προσέταξεν ο Μωϋσής, διά μαρτυρίαν εις αυτούς.
14 He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
15 Αλλ' έτι μάλλον διήρχετο η φήμη περί αυτού, και συνηθροίζοντο όχλοι πολλοί, διά να ακούωσι και να θεραπεύωνται υπ' αυτού από των ασθενειών αυτών·
15 But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 αυτός δε απεσύρετο εις τας ερήμους και προσηύχετο.
16 But he withdrew himself into the desert and prayed.
17 Και εν μιά των ημερών, ενώ αυτός εδίδασκεν, εκάθηντο Φαρισαίοι και νομοδιδάσκαλοι, οίτινες είχον ελθεί εκ πάσης κώμης της Γαλιλαίας και Ιουδαίας και Ιερουσαλήμ· και δύναμις Κυρίου ήτο εις το να ιατρεύη αυτούς.
17 On one of those days, he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal them.
18 Και ιδού, άνδρες φέροντες επί κλίνης άνθρωπον, όστις ήτο παραλυτικός, και εζήτουν να φέρωσιν αυτόν έσω και να θέσωσιν ενώπιον αυτού·
18 Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus.
19 και μη ευρόντες διά ποίας εισόδου να φέρωσιν αυτόν έσω εξ αιτίας του όχλου, ανέβησαν επί το δώμα και διά των κεραμίδων κατεβίβασαν αυτόν μετά του κλινιδίου εις το μέσον έμπροσθεν του Ιησού.
19 Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the middle before Jesus.
20 Και ιδών την πίστιν αυτών, είπε προς αυτόν· Άνθρωπε, συγκεχωρημέναι είναι εις σε αι αμαρτίαι σου.
20 Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
21 Και ήρχισαν να διαλογίζωνται οι γραμματείς και οι Φαρισαίοι, λέγοντες· Τις είναι ούτος, όστις λαλεί βλασφημίας; τις δύναται να συγχωρή αμαρτίας ειμή μόνος ο Θεός;
21 The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”
22 Νοήσας δε ο Ιησούς τους διαλογισμούς αυτών, απεκρίθη και είπε προς αυτούς· Τι διαλογίζεσθε εν ταις καρδίαις σας;
22 But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?
23 τι είναι ευκολώτερον, να είπω, Συγκεχωρημέναι είναι εις σε αι αμαρτίαι σου, ή να είπω, Σηκώθητι και περιπάτει;
23 Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
24 αλλά διά να γνωρίσητε ότι εξουσίαν έχει ο Υιός του ανθρώπου επί της γης να συγχωρή αμαρτίας, είπε προς τον παραλυτικόν· Προς σε λέγω, Σηκώθητι και σήκωσον το κλινίδιόν σου και ύπαγε εις τον οίκόν σου.
24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, arise, take up your cot, and go to your house.”
25 Και παρευθύς εγερθείς ενώπιον αυτών, εσήκωσε το κλινίδιον εφ' ου κατέκειτο και ανεχώρησεν εις τον οίκον αυτού, δοξάζων τον Θεόν.
25 Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
26 Και έκστασις κατέλαβεν άπαντας και εδόξαζον τον Θεόν, και επλήσθησαν φόβου, λέγοντες ότι είδομεν παράδοξα σήμερον.
26 Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”
27 Και μετά ταύτα εξήλθε και είδε τελώνην τινά Λευΐν το όνομα, καθήμενον εις το τελώνιον, και είπε προς αυτόν· Ακολούθει μοι.
27 After these things he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”
28 Και αφήσας άπαντα, εσηκώθη και ηκολούθησεν αυτόν.
28 He left everything, and rose up and followed him.
29 Και έκαμεν εις αυτόν ο Λευΐς υποδοχήν μεγάλην εν τη οικία αυτού, και ήτο πλήθος πολύ τελωνών και άλλων, οίτινες εκάθηντο μετ' αυτών εις την τράπεζαν.
29 Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.
30 Και εγόγγυζον οι γραμματείς αυτών και οι Φαρισαίοι προς τους μαθητάς αυτού, λέγοντες· Διά τι μετά τελωνών και αμαρτωλών τρώγετε και πίνετε;
30 Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Και αποκριθείς ο Ιησούς, είπε προς αυτούς· Δεν έχουσι χρείαν ιατρού οι υγιαίνοντες, αλλ' οι πάσχοντες.
31 Jesus answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
32 Δεν ήλθον διά να καλέσω δικαίους, αλλά αμαρτωλούς εις μετάνοιαν.
32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
33 Οι δε είπον προς αυτόν· Διά τι οι μαθηταί του Ιωάννου νηστεύουσι συχνά και κάμνουσι δεήσεις, ομοίως και οι των Φαρισαίων, οι δε ιδικοί σου τρώγουσι και πίνουσιν;
33 They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?”
34 Ο δε είπε προς αυτούς· Μήπως δύνασθε να κάμητε τους υιούς του νυμφώνος να νηστεύωσιν, ενόσω είναι μετ' αυτών ο νυμφίος;
34 He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?
35 θέλουσιν όμως ελθεί ημέραι, όταν αφαιρεθή απ' αυτών ο νυμφίος· τότε θέλουσι νηστεύει εν εκείναις ταις ημέραις.
35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.”
36 Έλεγε δε και παραβολήν προς αυτούς, ότι ουδείς βάλλει επίρραμμα ιματίου νέου επί ιμάτιον παλαιόν ει δε μη, και το νέον σχίζει και με το παλαιόν δεν συμφωνεί το επίρραμμα το από του νέου.
36 He also told a parable to them. “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match the old.
37 Και ουδείς βάλλει οίνον νέον εις ασκούς παλαιούς ει δε μη, ο νέος οίνος θέλει σχίσει τους ασκούς, και αυτός θέλει εκχυθή και οι ασκοί θέλουσι φθαρή
37 No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled and the skins will be destroyed.
38 αλλά πρέπει να βάλληται ο νέος οίνος εις ασκούς νέους, και αμφότερα διατηρούνται.
38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.
39 Και ουδείς αφού πίη οίνον παλαιόν, θέλει ευθύς νέον· διότι λέγει· Ο παλαιός είναι καλήτερος.
39 No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”

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.
