32 I've come to call sinners to change the way they think and act, not to call people who think they have God's approval."

34 Jesus asked them, "Can you force wedding guests to fast while the groom is still with them?

35 The time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. At that time they will fast."

37 People don't pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the new wine will make the skins burst. The wine will run out, and the skins will be ruined.
