1ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟϩⲓ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲡⲉ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ϯ ⲗⲩⲙⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲅⲉⲛⲛⲏⲍⲁⲣⲉⲑ.
1Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.

2He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3ⲁϥⲟⲗϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϫⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥϩⲉⲛϥ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲭⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲧⲁϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲏ ϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ.
3He 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.

4When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲁⲛⲁⲓϥ ⳿ⲛϧⲟⲥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϩⲟ ⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲭ ⲱ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓ⳿ϣⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ.
5Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”
6ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲃⲧ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ⲛⲁⲩⲛⲁⲫⲱϧ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲓ⳿ϣⲛⲏⲟⲩ.
6When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.

7They 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.
8ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥϩⲓⲧϥ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲣⲟⲓ ⲡⲁϫ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ.
8But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”
9ⲟⲩϩⲟϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲥⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ϯϫⲟⲣϫⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲧⲉⲃⲧ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϩⲱⲟⲩ.
9For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
10ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲉⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲓϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲍⲉⲃⲉⲇⲉⲟⲥ ⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲉⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
10and 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.”

11When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.

12While 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.”

13He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

14He 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.”

15But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

16But he withdrew himself into the desert and prayed.

17On 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.

18Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus.

19Not 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.

20Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

21The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”

22But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?

23Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?

24But 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.”

25Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.

26Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”

27After these things he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”

29Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.

30Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”

33They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?”

36He 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.

39No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
