Luke 5 ©

1 Christ teacheth the people out of Simon's ship. 4 The miraculous draught of fishes: Simon and the two sons of Zebedee follow him. 12 Christ cleanseth a leper; 16 prayeth in the wilderness: 17 answereth the reasonings of the scribes and Pharisees concerning his forgiving sins, and healeth the sick of the palsy: 27 calleth Levi from the receipt of custom: 29 justifieth his eating with publicans and sinners: 33 excuseth his disciples from fasting for the present; 36 and illustrateth the matter by a twofold parable.
