ind, he rose, and followed him. (29)And Levi
made him a great entertainment at his house and there was a great
number of publicans and others, sitting at table with them. (30)And
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, They who are well, have no need of a physician: but
they who have illness. (32)I came not to call righteous men, but
sinners, to repentance.

(33)Then said they unto him, Why do the disciples of John observe
frequent fasts, and make prayers; but thine are eating and drinking?
(34)And he said unto them, Can you make the children of the
bridechamber fast, as long as the bridegroom is with them? (35)But the
days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then
shall they fast in those days. (36)Then he spake a parable unto them,
No man putteth a patch of new cloth on an old garment; but if
otherwise, both the new makes a rent, and the patch from the new is not
of a piece with the old. (37)And no man putteth new wine into old
bottles; for if he doth, the new wine will burst the bottles, and it
will itself be spilled, and the bottles be destroyed. (38)But new wine
should be put into new bottles; then both are preserved. (39)And no man
drinking old wine, immediately desires new: for he saith, The old is
better.

(2)Then said some of the Pharisees unto them, Why do ye that which is
not lawful on the sabbath-day? (3)And Jesus answering said to them;
Have ye never read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who
were with him? (4)how he entered into the house of God, and took the
loaves of shew-bread, and did eat, and gave also to those who were with
him; which it was not lawful for any to eat, but the priests alone?
(5)And he said, The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath-day.

(6)And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the
synagogue and taught: and a man was there, and his right hand was
shrunk. (7)Then the scribes and Pharisees watched him, if he would heal
on the sabbath-day, that they might find an accusation against him.
(8)Now he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered
hand, Rise, and stand in the midst
