29
And Levi made a great banquet in his own house and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down at the table with them.
30
But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31
And Jesus answering said unto them, Those that are whole have no need of a physician, but those that are sick.
32
I came not to call
the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
33
Then they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers and likewise
the disciples of the Pharisees, but thine eat and drink?
34
And he said unto them, Can ye make the sons of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them?
35
But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
36
And he also spoke a parable unto them: No one takes a piece of a new garment to mend an old one; if otherwise, then the new one is rent, and the piece that was
taken out of the new does not agree with the old.
37
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins;
or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled and the wineskins shall perish.
38
But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.
39
No one also having drunk of the old straightway desires the new, for he says, The old is better.
