Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret. Mrk 1:16-20Mat 4:18-22Mrk 3:9Mat 14:34Mrk 6:53Deu 3:17Jos 12:3Mat 11:12 He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. Mrk 1:19Mat 4:21 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. Mat 4:18Mat 13:1-2Jhn 1:41-42Mrk 4:1-2Jhn 8:2
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” Jhn 21:6Mat 17:27
Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.” Jhn 2:5Jhn 15:14Luk 6:46-482Ki 5:10-14Ezk 37:4-7Psa 127:1-2Jhn 21:3Ezk 37:11-12 When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking. 1Co 15:58Jhn 21:6-112Ki 4:3-7Ecc 11:6Gal 6:9Act 2:41Act 4:4 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. Gal 6:2Php 4:3Act 11:25Exo 23:5Rom 16:2-4Pro 18:24 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.” Isa 6:5Job 42:5-6Rev 1:17Jdg 13:22Job 40:4Exo 20:19Mat 2:11Mat 8:8 For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught; Luk 4:32Mrk 9:6Psa 8:8Psa 8:6Luk 4:36 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Mat 13:47Mat 4:19Ezk 47:9-10Mrk 1:17Luk 5:72Co 8:23Act 2:4Luk 6:14
Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”
When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him. Mat 4:20Luk 18:28-30Luk 5:28Mat 19:27Mrk 10:21Mrk 1:18-25Php 3:7-8Mat 10:37
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.” Psa 50:15Mat 8:2-4Luk 17:16Luk 17:12-13Mat 9:28Mrk 1:40-45Gen 18:14Heb 7:25
He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Mat 9:29-30Jhn 4:50-532Ki 5:14Ezk 36:25-27Ezk 36:29Hos 14:42Ki 5:10Gen 1:9
Immediately the leprosy left him. 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.” Lev 14:2-32Lev 13:2Luk 17:14Mat 8:4Mrk 1:44Mat 12:16Mat 9:30Luk 9:5
But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities. Mat 15:30-31Luk 12:1Mat 4:23-25Mat 9:26Mrk 1:45Mrk 1:28Mrk 3:7Luk 14:25 But he withdrew himself into the desert and prayed. Luk 6:12Mrk 1:35-36Mat 14:23Mrk 6:46Jhn 6:15
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. Luk 6:19Luk 8:46Act 19:11Mat 11:5Act 4:30Mat 15:1Mrk 5:30Mrk 7:1 Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus. Mat 9:2-8Mrk 2:3-12Act 9:33Jhn 5:5-6 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. Mrk 2:4Mat 10:272Sa 11:2Deu 22:8Mat 24:17Jer 19:13 Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” Act 14:9Mat 9:2Col 3:13Jas 2:18Jhn 2:25Luk 7:48Mrk 2:52Co 2:10
The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?” Isa 43:25Mrk 2:6-7Act 6:11-13Jhn 10:33Luk 7:49Dan 9:9Mat 26:65Psa 32:5
But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts? Mat 9:4Act 5:3Luk 24:38Mat 12:25Mrk 8:17Isa 66:18Psa 139:2Rev 2:23 Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’? Mat 9:5Mrk 2:9 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.” Isa 53:11Act 14:10Act 9:40Rev 1:13Act 3:6-8Act 5:31Act 9:34Luk 8:54
Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God. Jhn 9:24Psa 103:1-3Psa 107:20-22Luk 13:13Luk 17:15-18Luk 18:43Luk 5:13Psa 33:9 Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.” Mat 9:8Act 4:21Jer 33:9Mat 12:23Mrk 2:12Act 5:11-13Hos 3:5Luk 7:16
After these things he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!” Mrk 2:13-22Mat 9:9-17Mrk 3:18Jhn 1:43Mat 10:3Luk 18:22Mat 4:19-21Jhn 12:26
He left everything, and rose up and followed him. Luk 5:111Ki 19:19-21Mat 19:22-27Luk 9:59-62 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. Mrk 2:151Co 10:27Luk 15:1Mat 9:101Co 5:9-11Jhn 12:2 Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?” Act 23:9Luk 15:1-2Luk 19:7Luk 5:17Luk 5:21Luk 7:29-30Mat 21:28-32Mrk 7:3
Jesus answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do. Mrk 2:17Mat 9:12-13Jer 8:22 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Luk 19:10Luk 15:101Ti 1:15-16Luk 15:7Act 3:19Luk 24:47Act 17:30Isa 55:6-7
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?” Mat 9:14-17Mrk 2:18-22Jhn 3:25Luk 18:12Luk 20:47Rom 10:2-3Act 9:11Isa 1:15
He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? Jhn 3:29Mat 25:1-10Rev 19:7-92Co 11:2Eph 5:25-27Isa 54:5Isa 62:5Psa 45:10-16 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.” Act 14:23Act 3:21Jhn 16:4-7Luk 17:221Co 7:52Co 11:27Act 1:9Act 13:2-3
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. Mat 9:16-17Mrk 2:21-222Co 6:16Deu 22:11Lev 19:19 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. Psa 119:83Jos 9:13Jos 9:4 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved. Heb 8:8-132Co 5:17Ezk 36:26Gal 4:9-11Gal 5:1-6Rev 21:51Ti 4:8Heb 13:9-10 No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’” Heb 11:39Jer 6:16Mrk 7:7-13Rom 4:11-12Heb 11:1-2
