¹³ went out again along the seashore; and all the multitude kept gathering about Him, and He kept teaching them. ¹⁴ And as He was passing by, He saw Levi (Matthew) son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and He said to him, Follow Me! And he arose and joined Him as His disciple and sided with His party and accompanied Him. ¹⁵ And as Jesus, together with His disciples, sat at table in his house, many tax collectors and persons with sin were dining with Him, for there were many who walked the same road (followed) with Him. ¹⁶ And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that He was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to His disciples, Why does He eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners? ¹⁷ And when Jesus heard it, He said to them, Those who are strong and well have no need of a physician, but those who are weak and sick; I came not to call the righteous ones to repentance, but sinners (the erring ones and all those not free from sin). ¹⁸ Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were observing a fast; and came and asked Jesus, Why are John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fasting, but Your disciples are not doing so? ¹⁹ Jesus answered them, Can the wedding guests fast (abstain from food and drink) while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. ²⁰ But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and they will fast in that day. ²¹ No one sews a patch of unshrunken (new) goods on an old garment; if he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and the rent (tear) becomes bigger and worse . ²² And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the bottles destroyed; but new wine is to be put in new (fresh) wineskins. ²³ One Sabbath He was going along beside the fields of standing grain, and as they made their way, His disciples began to pick off the grains. ²⁴ And the Pharisees said to Him, Look! Why are they doing what is not permitted or lawful on the Sabbath? ²⁵ And He said to them, Have you never read what David did when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were accompanying him?-- ²⁶ How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was the high priest, and ate the sacred loaves set forth , which it is not permitted or lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave to those who were with him? ²⁷ And Jesus said to them, The Sabbath was made on account and for the sake of man, not man for the Sabbath; ²⁸ So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.
