§ 27 (§23 Mat 4:18-22 | §23 Mar 1:16-20 | Luk 5:1-11)

Luk 5:1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, qtext

Luk 5:2 And saw two ships standing by the lake [GBT: lake's side]: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

Luk 5:3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's [BT: pertained to Simon], and prayed [G: required] him that he would thrust out [G: off] a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

Luk 5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down [BT: slip] your nets for [GBT: to make] a draught.

Luk 5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled [G: travailed sore; BT: laboured] all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word [B: commandment] I will let down [BT: loose forth] the net. qtext

Luk 5:6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

Luk 5:7 And they beckoned unto their partners [BT: fellows], which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink [G: did sink; BT: sunk again].

Luk 5:8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart [GBT: Go] from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

Luk 5:9 For he was astonished [GBT: utterly astonied], and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken [GT: took]:

Luk 5:10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners [G: companions] with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

Luk 5:11 And when they had brought their ships to land [B: up their boats to shore], they forsook all, and followed him.

[Luk 5:11 cfMat 4:20,22, Mar 1:18,20; forsook all and followed him: cf Mat 19:27]

kjv §29 (§ 52A + Mat 9:2-8 | Mar 2:1-12 | Luk 5:12-26)

Mat 9:2 And, behold [GT: lo], they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a [G: Laid on a; B: lying in a; T: lying in his] bed: and Jesus seeing their faith [BT: when Jesus saw the faith of them, he] said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer [G: comfort]; thy sins be [G: are] forgiven thee.

Mat 9:3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within [G: with; T: in] themselves, This man blasphemeth. qtext

Mat 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts [GBT: when Jesus saw their thoughts, he] said, Wherefore think ye evil [G: +things] in your hearts?

Mat 9:5 For whether is [G: +it] easier, to say, Thy sins be [G: are] forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

Mat 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power [G: authority] on earth to forgive sins [BT: to forgive sins in earth], (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto [T: home to] thine house.

Mat 9:7 And he arose, and departed to his [GT: +own] house.

Mat 9:8 But when the multitudes [G: multitude; T: people] saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto[G: authority to] men.

Mar 2:1 And again [GBT: After a few days] he entered into Capernaum after some days [GBT: again]; and it was noised that he was in the house.

Mar 2:2 And straightway [GBT: anon] many were [GT: omit] gathered together, insomuch that [BT: +now] there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: [G: the places about the door could not receive any more] and he preached the word unto them.

Mar 2:3 And they come unto him, bringing [GT: that brought] one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four [GBT: +men] .

Mar 2:4 And when [GT: because] they could not come nigh [G: near] unto him for the press [G: multitude], they uncovered the roof [GBT: +of the house] where he was: and when they had broken it up [GT: open], they [B: +did with cords] let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

Mar 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be [GT: are] forgiven thee.

Mar 2:6 But [GT: And] there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, qtext

Mar 2:7 Why [T: How] doth this man[B: he; T: this fellow]thus speak blasphemies [G: speak such blasphemies; T: so blaspheme]? who can forgive sins but God only? qtext

Mar 2:8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within [G: thus they reasoned with] themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these [T: think ye such] things in your hearts?

Mar 2:9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be [GT: are] forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

Mar 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on [G: authority in] earth to forgive sins, (he saith to [G: said unto; T: spake unto] the sick of the palsy,)

Mar 2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way [GBT: get thee hence] into thine [GT: +own] house.

Mar 2:12 And immediately [GT: by and by] he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion [G: such a thing].

Luk 5:12 And it came to pass [T: fortuned] , when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus [G: and when he saw (BT: had spied) Jesus, he] fell [B: +flat] on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

Luk 5:13 And he put [GBT: stretched] forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

Luk 5:14 And he charged him to [GT: commanded (T: warned) him that he should] tell no man: but go [GB: go, saith he; T: that he should go] , and shew thyself [T: himself] to the priest, and offer for thy [T: his] cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony [GBT: witness] unto them.

Luk 5:15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes [BT: much people] came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

Luk 5:16 And he withdrew himself into [GBT: kept himself apart in] the wilderness, and prayed [T: gave himself to prayer].

Luk 5:17 And it came to pass [T: happened] on a certain day, as he was teaching, that [T: that he taught: and] there were [G: the; T: there sat the] Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by [G: sat by; T omits], which were come out of every town [BT: all the towns] of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present [G: in him; T omits] to heal them.

Luk 5:18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man [GT: a man lying in a bed] which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

Luk 5:19 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude [GBT: press], they went upon the housetop [G: house; BT: top of the house], and let him down through the tiling with his couch [GBT: bed and all] into the midst before Jesus.

Luk 5:20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

Luk 5:21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason [BT: think], saying, Who [BT: What fellow] is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone [GBT: only]? qtext

Luk 5:22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts [G: reasoning], he answering [GBT: answered and] said unto them, What reason [BT: think] ye in your hearts?

Luk 5:23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be [GT: are] forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up [GT: omit] and walk?

Luk 5:24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power [G: authority] upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch [GBT: bed] , and go into [T: +home to] thine house.

Luk 5:25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that [GBT: his bed] whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying [GBT: praising] God.

Luk 5:26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified [G: praised; B: gave the glory unto; T: lauded] God, and were filled with fear, saying, [GB: +Doubtless] We have seen strange things to day.

(Luk 5:15)

[WDS 111f, see under Mat 24:27]

(Luk 5:21-23 | Mat 9:3-6 | Mar 2:6-9)

JWJM 251f (17–): If depth of knowledge and a high title had been sufficient reasons to make a splendid show, [Christ] would have made it. He told the woman of Samaria sundry things relative to her past life [John 4:16-19], made mention of the decease of Lazarus [John 11:14], and answered the scribe who accounted him a blasphemer, without information [Mat 9:3-6 | Mar 2:6-9 | Luk 5:21-23], and having the spirit without measure [John 3:34] knew what was in man. The title of Lord he owned, nor was it ever more justly given to any–that in riches and wisdom and greatness there was none on earth equal to him; and as he lived in perfect plainness and simplicity, the greatest in his family cannot by virtue of their station claim a right to live in worldly grandeur without contradicting his doctrine who said: "It is enough for a disciple to be as his master" [Mat 10:25].

(Luk 5:21 | Mar 2:7)

HPS 177 (Katharine Evans and Sarah Chevers, 1662): They asked us, if we did believe men could forgive sins? We said None could forgive sins but God only [Luk 5:21 | Mar 2:7]. They brought us that scripture, Whose sins ye remit on earth, shall be remitted in Heaven [John 20:23 / Mat 18:18]. We said, All power was God’s and he could give it to whom he would (that were born of the Eternal Spirit, and guided by the same; such have power to do the Father’s will, as I answered a friar also in the city of Naples); and they were silent, the Power greatly working.

§ 30 (Mat 9:9-13 | Mar 2:13-17 | Luk 5:27-32)

Mat 9:9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of [G: sitting at the; T: sit a-receiving of] custom: and he saith unto [GT: said to] him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. qtext

Mat 9:10 And it came to pass, as Jesus [T: he] sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and [G: that came hither] sat down [G: +at the table; T: +also] with him [GBT: Jesus] and his disciples. qtext

Mat 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw it [GT: that] , they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

Mat 9:12 But when Jesus heard that [G: it], he said unto them, They that be [GT: The] whole need not a [BT: the] physician, but they that are sick. qtext

Mat 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth [G: this is], I will have [T: have pleasure in] mercy, and not sacrifice [T: in offering] : for I am not come to call the righteous, but [GT: +the] sinners to repentance. qtext

Mar 2:13 And he went forth again by the sea side [GBT: toward (BT: unto) the sea]; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.

Mar 2:14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. qtext

Mar 2:15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat [G: table] in his house, many publicans and sinners sat a lso together [G: at table also; B: + at meat; T: at meat also] with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they[GBT many that] followed him. qtext

Mar 2:16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

Mar 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are [GT: The; B: They that be] whole have no need of the physician, but they that are [GT: the] sick: I came not to call the righteous, but [T: rightwise, but the], sinners to repentance. qtext

Luk 5:27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. qtext

Luk 5:28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

Luk 5:29 And [T: +that same] Levi made him a great feast [T: +at home] in his own house: and [G: where] there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down [G: at table; BT: at meat] with them [T: him]. qtext

Luk 5:30 But their scribes and Pharisees [GB: they that were scribes and Pharisees among them] murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

Luk 5:31 And Jesus answering [GBT: answered, and] said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. qtext

Luk 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. qtext

(Mat 9:9 | Mar 2:14 | Luk 5:27f)

GF2:343 (1689): Jesus saw Matthew "sitting at the receipt of custom, and he said unto him, follow me. And he arose and followed him." Mat 9:9. And Christ employed Matthew to gather his people, that were scattered from God; another manner of treasure than the outward custom of the Romans.

JN1:134: [Mat 9:9, see under Mat 10:37]

WPR 63 (1669): Nor were the Apostles, the immediate messengers of the Lord Jesus Christ, other than poor men, one a fisherman, one a tentmaker [Acts 18:1-3], and he that was of the greatest (though not the honestest) employment was a customer [customs gatherer, Mat 9:9] (perhaps some waiter or the like); therefore it is very unlikely that any of them were followers of the fashions of the world.

(Mat 9:10-13 | Mar 2:15-17 | Luk 5:29-32)

JN2:40 (1656): Thou says Christ accompanied with prodigals and harlots, and then says try John 15:2, and there thou art tried to be a liar and a fruitless branch cut off; and though Christ taught prodigals and harlots, yet he was not a companion with them [Mat 9:10-13 | Mar 2:15-17 | Luk 5:29-32]; neither can thy harlot's mind, who art out of the light, know him or his company.

(Mat 9:12 | Mar 2:17 | Luk 5:31)

[Other texts citing Mat 9:12 | Mar 2:17 | Luk 5:31]: IP4:95f (John 3:14)]

GF3:256 (1659): He saith, "The Bible is the soul's physic: and people must depend upon the spirit's speaking in the scriptures." A. The soul's refreshment is Christ, and its physician Christ [Mat 9:12 | Mar 2:17 | Luk 5:31]; many have the Bible, and do not know it, and the scriptures, as the Pharisees had; the soul's physician is that which the scriptures speak of: many may have the words, the Bible, and yet not have the thing it speaks of; and they that have the thing it speaks of, have both.

IP1:128 (1659): Christ is the skillful Physician [Mat 9:12 | Mar 2:17 | Luk 5:31]; he cures the disease, by removing the cause. The unskillful physicians, they heal deceitfully; crying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace [Jer 6:14, 8:11], while that which breaks the peace is standing: but Christ doth not so, but slays the enmity in the heart by the blood of his cross, so making peace [Eph 2:15f]. And this is true peace, certain peace.

IP3:278 (1672): Indeed the physician is come inwardly and spiritually, and he inwardly heals and restoreth his people.... But there are some who are so sound and whole in their notional apprehensions and practices, that they have no need of the physician [Mat 9:12 | Mar 2:17 | Luk 5:31], and them the physician passeth by, as unworthy of him, and whom he intendeth shall have no share with him. "Ephraim is joined to idols" (he is well, he hath enough, he hath no need of me) "let him alone," saith the Lord [Hos 4:17].

WPR 172f (1682): The whole needs not the physician [Mat 9:12 | Mar 2:17 | Luk 5:31], the full have no need to sigh, nor the rich to cry for help. Those that are not sensible of inward wants, that have no fears or terrors upon them, who feel no need of God's power to help them, nor the light of his countenance to comfort them; what have such to do with prayer? ... They pray the will of God may be done [Mat 6:10 | Luk 11:2]; and do constantly their own....

(Mat 9:13 | Mar 2:17 | Luk 5:32)

GF4:20f (1653): Christ saith, I call sinners to repentance [Mat 9:13 | Mar 2:17 | Luk 5:32]; that light in thee calls thee to repentance, and if thou hearkenest to that, thou hearkenest to Christ, and if thou hatest that [John 3:20], thou hatest Christ, and God.... And thou that sayest thou had not come to repentance, if thou hadst not known the letter, thou deniest Christ, who came to call sinners to repentance before the letter was; it is he that calls sinners to repentance, and not the letter....

GF6:316 (1685): Let all destroyers and persecutors about religion consider this, how short they have been of the practice of the law of God, and the nobility of true christianity; and let them all go learn this lesson what the Lord saith, "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice." [Mat 9:13, Hos 6:6]

§ 31 (Mat 9:14-17 | Mar 2:18-22 | Luk 5:33-39)

Mat 9:14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? qtext

Mat 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber [G: children of the marriage chamber; T: wedding children] mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days [T: The time] will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. qtext

(Mat 9:14f | Mar 2:18-20 | Luk 5:33-35)

IP1:203f (1659): Again, they excepted against him, that he did not teach his disciples to fast and pray, as John did, Luk 5:33, but could suffer them to transgress the traditions of the elders. Mat 15:2. He was not strict after the Jewish way of devotion, nor strict after John's neither; but against the traditions of the godly elders of the Jewish church; against sanctifying of the Lord's sabbath (justifying his disciples in plucking ears of corn thereon [Mat 12:1-8 | Mk 2:23-26 | Luk 6:1-5]; whereas their forefathers the Jews were not so much as to gather manna on that day [Exo 16:22-27]; against fasting and prayer; for he justified his disciples in that they did not fast and pray as John did, saying, how could they mourn while the bridegroom was with them? Mat 9:15. And consider which way the Jews (in the state they stood) could understand such an answer as this, to rest satisfied therewith.

(Mat 9:15 | Mar 2:19f | Luk 5:34f)

JN2:256 (1655): And thou tells of the children of the bridechamber, cannot mourn while the bridegroom is with them [Mat 9:15 | Mar 2:19f | Luk 5:34f], and of putting people into a watching frame of spirit. I say, what bridegroom knows thou with thee, who deny the light of Christ and the infallible spirit in thee? And what spirit wilt thou watch withal; the lying spirit [1 Ki 22:22] never knew him nor must enter with him, but is shut out with the sorcerers and whoremongers.

IP3:40 (1667): Did not the bridegroom go away [Mat 9:15 | Mar 2:19f | Luk 5:34f], as to his appearance in flesh, that he might come again in Spirit? Did not the apostles, who knew his appearance in flesh, and his tabernacling among them, know also afterwards his appearnce in Spirit, and his tabernacling in them? And were not their hearts filled with joy unspeakable, and full of glory [1 Pet 1:8], because of the presence of the bridegroom?

HPS 427 (Elizabeth Bathurst, 1679): And now it rises in me to write a word to comfort you, you friends of the Bridegroom [John 3:29], that mourn for his withdrawing [Mat 9:15 | Mar 2:19f | Luk 5:34f], and eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling [Ezek 12:18], as those who find no comfort till you do enjoy him. Wait without weariness, and you shall behold his countenance, and hear his pleasant voice, which will revive your spirits; but still be you mindful when you hear things unutterable [2 Cor 12:4], that you keep low and humble, and so shall you be kept from the snares of the Devil.

(Mat 9:16f | Mar 2:21f | Luk 5:36-38)

GF8:157f (1678): So ... they that are in old Adam are old creatures; and are in their old things, old ways, old worships, and old religions, and have the old garments [Mat 9:16], and the old bottles, that hold the old wine, and cannot endure the new [Mat 9:17]; and have the old, rusty, moth-eaten treasure [Mat 6:19]. And they that are in Christ, the heavenly and spiritual second Adam [1 Cor 15:45/47], who maketh all things new [Rev 21:5], are new creatures, and spiritual men, and are heavenly-minded [Rom 8:6?], and are new bottles, that hold the new wine and the new heavenly treasure [Mat 6:20], and have the new clothing, the fine linen, the righteousness of Christ [Rev 19:8], and are the new and living way [Heb 10:20], over all the dead ways.

GF8:153 (1678): And here is water in your own wells, that you may drink out of your own wells or cisterns [Prov 5:15], and to have grapes off their own vines, from which they may have the new wine in their new bottles [Mat 9:17], to glad and cheer their hearts with the wine from the heavenly branch of the heavenly vine, of which the Lord is the husbandman [John 15:1]; and this must every one of God's people feel.

IP3:473f (1671): Ah! many have had some touches of the light, some true appearances thereof, and tastes of the glory; but who hath been so united to the light, as to keep out of all that corrupteth? There is somewhat still lives near, that would fain be mixing with it.... It is better to know the old bottle emptied, yea, broken, than filled with new wine [Mat 9:17 | Mar 2:22 | Luk 5:37f]. And how many have taken themselves to be new made, who, when the Spirit of the Lord hath come to search them by his pure, eternal light, have been found and are found in the old nature and spirit!

WPR 508 (1693): If any say, that Christ commanded that [baptism or the Supper] should be done till he come [1 Cor 11:23-26]; they say that he that said so, told his disciples also, that he would come to them again [John 14:3; quotes Mat 16:28, John 14:17]; and that he would drink no more of the fruit of the vine, till he should drink it new with them in the Kingdom of God [Mat 26:29| Mar 14:25]. Which is the new wine that was to be put into the old bottles, Luk 5:37, and is the wine of the kingdom ... which kingdom is within [Luk 17:20].
