Biblical Studies Press, 2005) ### The Call of the Disciples **Principles**: Jesus meets you where you are. [[#Verse 01.]] Now Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing around him to hear the word of God.  [[#Verse 02.]] He saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.  [[#Verse 03.]] He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then Jesus sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. [[#Verse 04.]] When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and lower your nets for a catch.”  [[#Verse 05.]] Simon answered, “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing! But at your word I will lower the nets.” [[#Verse 06.]] When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear.  [[#Verse 07.]] So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were about to sink. [[#Verse 08.]] But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!” [[#Verse 09.]] For Peter and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken,  [[#Verse 10.]] and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s business partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people!”  [[#Verse 11.]] So when they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him. ### Healing a Leper **Principle**: Jesus is always willing, but the time, place, etc... are up to Him. [[#Verse 12.]] While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came to him who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he bowed down with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”  [[#Verse 13.]] So he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him. [[#Verse 14.]] Then he ordered the man to tell no one, but commanded him, “Go and show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”  [[#Verse 15.]] But the news about him spread even more, and large crowds were gathering together to hear him and to be healed of their illnesses.  [[#Verse 16.]] Yet Jesus himself frequently withdrew to the wilderness and prayed. ### Healing and Forgiving a Paralytic **Principle**: Greatest healing = salvation. [[#Verse 17.]] Now on one of those days, while he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting nearby (who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem), and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.  [[#Verse 18.]] Just then some men showed up, carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher. They were trying to bring him in and place him before Jesus. [[#Verse 19.]] But since they found no way to carry him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down on the stretcher through the roof tiles right in front of Jesus.  [[#Verse 20.]] When Jesus saw their faith he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”  [[#Verse 21.]] Then the experts in the law and the Pharisees began to think to themselves, “Who is this man who is uttering blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”  [[#Verse 22.]] When Jesus perceived their hostile thoughts, he said to them, “Why are you raising objections within yourselves?  [[#Verse 23.]] Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’? [[#Verse 24.]] But so 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, stand up, take your stretcher and go home.”  [[#Verse 25.]] Immediately he stood up before them, picked up the stretcher he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying God.  [[#Verse 26.]] Then astonishment seized them all, and they glorified God. They were filled with awe, saying, “We have seen incredible things today.” ### The Call of Levi; Eating with Sinners **Principle**: The Great Physician [[#Verse 27.]] After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow me,” he said to him.  [[#Verse 28.]] And he got up and followed him, leaving everything behind. [[#Verse 29.]] Then Levi gave a great banquet in his house for Jesus, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others sitting at the table with them.  [[#Verse 30.]] But the Pharisees and their experts in the law complained to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”  [[#Verse 31.]] Jesus answered them, “Those who are well don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do. [[#Verse 32.]] I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” ### The Superiority of the New **Principle**: Don't fit Jesus into your old understanding. [[#Verse 33.]] Then they said to him, “John’s disciples frequently fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours continue to eat and drink.”  [[#Verse 34.]] So Jesus said to them, “You cannot make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you?  [[#Verse 35.]] But those days are coming, and when the bridegroom is taken from them, at that time they will fast.”  [[#Verse 36.]] He also told them a parable: “No one tears a patch from a new garment and sews it on an old garment. If he does, he will have torn the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.  [[#Verse 37.]] And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.  [[#Verse 38.]] Instead new wine must be poured into new wineskins.  [[#Verse 39.]] No one after drinking old wine wants the new, for he says, ‘The old is good enough.’” ## ==📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary== ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ###### Verse 11. ###### Verse 12. ###### Verse 13. ###### Verse 14. ###### Verse 15. ###### Verse 16. ###### Verse 17. ###### Verse 18. ###### Verse 19. ###### Verse 20. ###### Verse 21. ###### Verse 22. ###### Verse 23. ###### Verse 24. ###### Verse 25. ###### Verse 26. ###### Verse 27. ###### Verse 28. ###### Verse 29. ###### Verse 30. ###### Verse 31. ###### Verse 32. ###### Verse 33. ###### Verse 34. ###### Verse 35. ###### Verse 36. ###### Verse 37. ###### Verse 38. ###### Verse 39. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write down things that are not straight from commentary but interesting facts that ground the text in history. %% ## 🧠 Chapter Summary - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) summarizing what happens in this chapter. - What is the main event or teaching? - How does this chapter fit the book’s overall story? - What stands out immediately?
