¹ Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

² Hijo de hombre, di al príncipe de Tiro: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: Por cuanto se enalteció tu corazón, y dijiste: Yo soy DIOS; en la silla de DIOS estoy sentado en medio de los mares (siendo tú hombre y no DIOS); y pusiste tu corazón como corazón de DIOS;

³ he aquí que tú eres más sabio que Daniel; no hay secreto que ellos te puedan ocultar;

⁴ con tu sabiduría y con tu prudencia te has juntado riquezas, y has adquirido oro y plata en tus tesoros;

⁵ con la grandeza de tu sabiduría en tu contratación has multiplicado tus riquezas; y a causa de tus riquezas se ha enaltecido tu corazón.

⁶ Por tanto, así dijo el Señor DIOS: Por cuanto pusiste tu corazón como corazón de DIOS,

⁷ por tanto, he aquí yo traigo sobre ti extraños, los fuertes de los gentiles, que desenvainarán sus cuchillos contra la hermosura de tu sabiduría, y ensuciarán tu esplendor.

⁸ A la huesa te harán descender, y morirás de la muerte de los que mueren en medio de los mares.

⁹ ¿Por ventura hablarás delante de tu matador, diciendo: Yo soy dios? Tú, hombre serás , y no dios, en la mano de tu matador.

¹⁰ De muerte de incircuncisos morirás por mano de extraños; porque yo he hablado, dijo el Señor DIOS.

¹¹ Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

¹² Hijo de hombre, levanta endechas sobre el rey de Tiro, y dile: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: Tú sellas la suma de la perfección , lleno de sabiduría, y acabado de hermosura.

¹³ En Edén, en el huerto de Dios estuviste; toda piedra preciosa fue tu vestidura; el sardio, topacio, diamante, turquesa, onice, y berilo, el zafiro, rubí, y esmeralda, y oro. Las obras de tus tamboriles y pífanos estuvieron apercibidas en ti el día que fuiste creado.

¹⁴ Tú, querubín grande, cubierto, y yo te puse; en el santo monte de Dios estuviste; en medio de piedras de fuego anduviste.

¹⁵ Perfecto eras en todos tus caminos desde el día que fuiste creado, hasta que se halló en ti maldad.

¹⁶ A causa de la multitud de tu contratación fuiste lleno de iniquidad, y pecaste; y yo te eché del Monte de Dios, y te eché a mal de entre las piedras del fuego, oh querubín cubierto.

¹⁷ Se enalteció tu corazón a causa de tu hermosura, corrompiste tu sabiduría a causa de tu resplandor; yo te arrojaré por tierra; delante de los reyes te pondré para que miren en ti.

¹⁸ Con la multitud de tus maldades, y con la iniquidad de tu contratación ensuciaste tu santuario; yo , pues, saqué fuego de en medio de ti, el cual te consumió, y te puse en ceniza sobre la tierra a los ojos de todos los que te miran.

¹⁹ Todos los que te conocieron de entre los pueblos, se maravillarán sobre ti; conturbado fuistes, y nunca más serás para siempre.

²⁰ Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

²¹ Hijo de hombre, pon tu rostro hacia Sidón, y profetiza contra ella;

²² y dirás: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: He aquí yo contra ti, oh Sidón, y en medio de ti seré glorificado; y sabrán que yo soy el Señor, cuando hiciere en ella juicios, y en ella me santificare.

²³ Y enviaré a ella pestilencia y sangre en sus plazas; y caerán muertos en medio de ella; con espada contra ella alrededor; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR.

²⁴ Y nunca más será a la Casa de Israel espino que le punce, ni espino que le dé dolor, en todos los alrededores de los que los menosprecian; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR.

²⁵ Así dijo el Señor DIOS: Cuando juntare la Casa de Israel de los pueblos entre los cuales están esparcidos, y en ellos me santificaré a los ojos de los gentiles, y habitarán en su tierra, la cual di a mi siervo Jacob.

²⁶ Y habitarán en ella seguros, y edificarán casas, y plantarán viñas, y habitarán confiadamente, cuando yo haga juicios en todos los que los despojan en sus alrededores; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR su Dios.

¹ Now it happened, while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.

² He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

³ 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.

⁴ When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch."

⁵ Simon answered him, "Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the net."

⁶ When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.

⁷ 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.

⁸ But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord."

⁹ For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;

¹⁰ and 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."

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

¹² It happened, 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."

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

¹⁴ 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."

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

¹⁶ But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.

¹⁷ It happened on one of those days, that 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.

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

¹⁹ 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 midst before Jesus.

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

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

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

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

²⁴ 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, and take up your cot, and go to your house."

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

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

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

²⁸ He left everything, and rose up and followed him.

²⁹ 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.

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

³¹ Jesus answered them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

³² I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

³³ 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?"

³⁴ He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

³⁵ But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days."

³⁶ 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.

³⁷ 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.

³⁸ But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.

³⁹ No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, 'The old is better.'"
