Luke 5

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now it happened that, when the crowds pressed toward him, so that they might hear the word of God, he was standing beside the lake of Genesaret.	1 Ενω δε ο οχλος συνεθλιβεν αυτον δια να ακουη τον λογον του Θεου, αυτος ιστατο πλησιον της λιμνης Γεννησαρετ,
2 And he saw two boats standing beside the lake. But the fishermen had climbed down, and they were washing their nets.	2 και ειδε δυο πλοια ισταμενα παρα την λιμνην οι δε αλιεις αποβαντες απ' αυτων εξεπλυναν τα δικτυα.
3 And so, climbing into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, he asked him to draw back a little from the land. And sitting down, he taught the crowds from the boat.	3 Εμβας δε εις εν των πλοιων, το οποιον ητο του Σιμωνος, παρεκαλεσεν αυτον να απομακρυνη αυτο ολιγον απο της γης, και καθησας εδιδασκεν εκ του πλοιου τους οχλους.
4 Then, when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, “Lead us into deep water, and release your nets for a catch.”	4 Καθως δε επαυσε λαλων, ειπε προς τον Σιμωνα? Επαναγαγε το πλοιον εις τα βαθεα και ριψατε τα δικτυα υμων δια να οψαρευσητε.
5 And in response, Simon said to him: “Teacher, working throughout the night, we caught nothing. But on your word, I will release the net.”	5 Και αποκριθεις ο Σιμων, ειπε προς αυτον? Διδασκαλε, δι' ολης της νυκτος κοπιασαντες δεν επιασαμεν ουδεν? αλλ' ομως επι τω λογω σου θελω ριψει το δικτυον.
6 And when they had done this, they enclosed such a copious multitude of fish that their net was rupturing.	6 Και αφου εκαμον τουτο, συνεκλεισαν πληθος πολυ ιχθυων και διεσχιζετο το δικτυον αυτων.
7 And they signaled to their associates, who were in the other boat, so that they would come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were nearly submerged.	7 Και εκαμον νευμα εις τους συντροφους τους εν τω αλλω πλοιω, δια να ελθωσι να βοηθησωσιν αυτους? και ηλθον και εγεμισαν αμφοτερα τα πλοια, ωστε εβυθιζοντο.
8 But when Simon Peter had seen this, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”	8 Ιδων δε ο Σιμων Πετρος, προσεπεσε προς τα γονατα του Ιησου, λεγων? Εξελθε απ' εμου, διοτι ειμαι ανθρωπος αμαρτωλος, Κυριε.
9 For astonishment had enveloped him, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish that they had taken.	9 Επειδη εκπληξις κατελαβεν αυτον και παντας τους μετ' αυτου δια την αγραν των ιχθυων, την οποιαν συνελαβον,
10 Now the same was true of James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were associates of Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: “Do not be afraid. From now on, you will be catching men.”	10 ομοιως δε και τον Ιακωβον και Ιωαννην, τους υιους του Ζεβεδαιου, οιτινες ησαν συντροφοι του Σιμωνος. Και ειπε προς τον Σιμωνα ο Ιησους? Μη φοβου? απο του νυν ανθρωπους θελεις αγρευει.
11 And having led their boats to land, leaving behind everything, they followed him.	11 Και αφου εφεραν τα πλοια επι την γην, αφησαντες απαντα ηκολουθησαν αυτον.
12 And it happened that, while he was in a certain city, behold, there was a man full of leprosy who, upon seeing Jesus and falling to his face, petitioned him, saying: “Lord, if you are willing, you are able to cleanse me.”	12 Και ενω ητο εν μια των πολεων ιδου, ανθρωπος πληρης λεπρας? και ιδων τον Ιησουν, επεσε κατα προσωπον και παρεκαλεσεν αυτον, λεγων? Κυριε, εαν θελης, δυνασαι να με καθαρισης.
13 And extending his hand, he touched him, saying: “I am willing. Be cleansed.” And at once, the leprosy departed from him.	13 Και εκτεινας την χειρα, ηγγισεν αυτον και ειπε? Θελω, καθαρισθητι. Και ευθυς η λεπρα εφυγεν απ' αυτου.
14 And he instructed him that he should tell no one, “But go, show yourself to the priest, and make the offering for your cleansing, just as Moses has commanded, as a testimony for them.”	14 Και αυτος παρηγγειλεν αυτον να μη ειπη τουτο προς μηδενα, αλλ' υπαγε, λεγει, και δειξον σεαυτον εις τον ιερεα και προσφερε περι του καθαρισμου σου, καθως προσεταξεν ο Μωυσης, δια μαρτυριαν εις αυτους.
15 Yet word of him traveled around all the more. And great crowds came together, so that they might listen and be cured by him from their infirmities.	15 Αλλ' ετι μαλλον διηρχετο η φημη περι αυτου, και συνηθροιζοντο οχλοι πολλοι, δια να ακουωσι και να θεραπευωνται υπ' αυτου απο των ασθενειων αυτων?
16 And he withdrew into the desert and prayed.	16 αυτος δε απεσυρετο εις τας ερημους και προσηυχετο.
17 And it happened, on a certain day, that he again sat down, teaching. And there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting nearby, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present, to heal them.	17 Και εν μια των ημερων, ενω αυτος εδιδασκεν, εκαθηντο Φαρισαιοι και νομοδιδασκαλοι, οιτινες ειχον ελθει εκ πασης κωμης της Γαλιλαιας και Ιουδαιας και Ιερουσαλημ? και δυναμις Κυριου ητο εις το να ιατρευη αυτους.
18 And behold, some men were carrying in the bed of a man who was paralyzed. And they sought a way to bring him in, and to place him before him.	18 Και ιδου, ανδρες φεροντες επι κλινης ανθρωπον, οστις ητο παραλυτικος, και εζητουν να φερωσιν αυτον εσω και να θεσωσιν ενωπιον αυτου?
19 And not finding a way by which they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they climbed up to the roof, and they let him down through the roof tiles with his bed, into their midst, in front of Jesus.	19 και μη ευροντες δια ποιας εισοδου να φερωσιν αυτον εσω εξ αιτιας του οχλου, ανεβησαν επι το δωμα και δια των κεραμιδων κατεβιβασαν αυτον μετα του κλινιδιου εις το μεσον εμπροσθεν του Ιησου.
20 And when he saw his faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”	20 Και ιδων την πιστιν αυτων, ειπε προς αυτον? Ανθρωπε, συγκεχωρημεναι ειναι εις σε αι αμαρτιαι σου.
21 And the scribes and Pharisees began to think, saying: “Who is this, who is speaking blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins, except God alone?”	21 Και ηρχισαν να διαλογιζωνται οι γραμματεις και οι Φαρισαιοι, λεγοντες? Τις ειναι ουτος, οστις λαλει βλασφημιας; τις δυναται να συγχωρη αμαρτιας ειμη μονος ο Θεος;
22 But when Jesus realized their thoughts, responding, he said to them: “What are you thinking in your hearts?	22 Νοησας δε ο Ιησους τους διαλογισμους αυτων, απεκριθη και ειπε προς αυτους? Τι διαλογιζεσθε εν ταις καρδιαις σας;
23 Which is easier to say: ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk?’	23 τι ειναι ευκολωτερον, να ειπω, Συγκεχωρημεναι ειναι εις σε αι αμαρτιαι σου, η να ειπω, Σηκωθητι και περιπατει;
24 But so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralytic, “I say to you to: Rise up, take up your bed, and go into your house.”	24 αλλα δια να γνωρισητε οτι εξουσιαν εχει ο ιος του ανθρωπου επι της γης να συγχωρη αμαρτιας, ειπε προς τον παραλυτικον? Προς σε λεγω, Σηκωθητι και σηκωσον το κλινιδιον σου και υπαγε εις τον οικον σου.
25 And at once, rising up in their sight, he took up the bed on which he was lying, and he went away to his own house, magnifying God.	25 Και παρευθυς εγερθεις ενωπιον αυτων, εσηκωσε το κλινιδιον εφ' ου κατεκειτο και ανεχωρησεν εις τον οικον αυτου, δοξαζων τον Θεον.
26 And astonishment took hold of everyone, and they were magnifying God. And they were filled with fear, saying: “For we have seen miracles today.”	26 Και εκστασις κατελαβεν απαντας και εδοξαζον τον Θεον, και επλησθησαν φοβου, λεγοντες οτι ειδομεν παραδοξα σημερον.
27 And after these things, he went out, and he saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the customs office. And he said to him, “Follow me.”	27 Και μετα ταυτα εξηλθε και ειδε τελωνην τινα Λευιν το ονομα, καθημενον εις το τελωνιον, και ειπε προς αυτον? Ακολουθει μοι.
28 And leaving behind everything, rising up, he followed him.	28 Και αφησας απαντα, εσηκωθη και ηκολουθησεν αυτον.
29 And Levi made a great feast for him in his own house. And there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others, who were sitting at table with them.	29 Και εκαμεν εις αυτον ο Λευις υποδοχην μεγαλην εν τη οικια αυτου, και ητο πληθος πολυ τελωνων και αλλων, οιτινες εκαθηντο μετ' αυτων εις την τραπεζαν.
30 But the Pharisees and scribes were murmuring, saying to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”	30 Και εγογγυζον οι γραμματεις αυτων και οι Φαρισαιοι προς τους μαθητας αυτου, λεγοντες? Δια τι μετα τελωνων και αμαρτωλων τρωγετε και πινετε;
31 And responding, Jesus said to them: “It is not those who are well who need a doctor, but those who have maladies.	31 Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους, ειπε προς αυτους? Δεν εχουσι χρειαν ιατρου οι υγιαινοντες, αλλ' οι πασχοντες.
32 I have not come to call the just, but sinners to repentance.”	32 Δεν ηλθον δια να καλεσω δικαιους, αλλα αμαρτωλους εις μετανοιαν.
33 But they said to him, “Why do the disciples of John fast frequently, and make supplications, and those of the Pharisees act similarly, while yours eat and drink?”	33 Οι δε ειπον προς αυτον? Δια τι οι μαθηται του Ιωαννου νηστευουσι συχνα και καμνουσι δεησεις, ομοιως και οι των Φαρισαιων, οι δε ιδικοι σου τρωγουσι και πινουσιν;
34 And he said to them: “How can you cause the sons of the groom to fast, while the groom is still with them?	34 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους? Μηπως δυνασθε να καμητε τους υιους του νυμφωνος να νηστευωσιν, ενοσω ειναι μετ' αυτων ο νυμφιος;
35 But the days will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast, in those days.”	35 θελουσιν ομως ελθει ημεραι, οταν αφαιρεθη απ' αυτων ο νυμφιος? τοτε θελουσι νηστευει εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις.
36 Then he also made a comparison for them: “For no one sews a patch from a new garment onto an old garment. Otherwise, he both disrupts the new one, and the patch from the new one does not join together with the old one.	36 Ελεγε δε και παραβολην προς αυτους, οτι ουδεις βαλλει επιρραμμα ιματιου νεου επι ιματιον παλαιον ει δε μη, και το νεον σχιζει και με το παλαιον δεν συμφωνει το επιρραμμα το απο του νεου.
37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine ruptures the wineskins, and it will be poured out, and the wineskins will be lost.	37 Και ουδεις βαλλει οινον νεον εις ασκους παλαιους ει δε μη, ο νεος οινος θελει σχισει τους ασκους, και αυτος θελει εκχυθη και οι ασκοι θελουσι φθαρη
38 Instead, the new wine is put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.	38 αλλα πρεπει να βαλληται ο νεος οινος εις ασκους νεους, και αμφοτερα διατηρουνται.
39 And no one who is drinking the old, soon wishes for the new. For he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”	39 Και ουδεις αφου πιη οινον παλαιον, θελει ευθυς νεον? διοτι λεγει? Ο παλαιος ειναι καλητερος.
