¹⁰ And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat (reclined) with Him and His disciples. ¹¹ And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, Why does your Master eat with tax collectors and those sinful? ¹² But when Jesus heard it, He replied, Those who are strong and well (healthy) have no need of a physician, but those who are weak and sick. ¹³ Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice and sacrificial victims. For I came not to call and invite the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God), but sinners (the erring ones and all those not free from sin). ¹⁴ Then the disciples of John came to Jesus, inquiring, Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast often, , but Your disciples do not fast? ¹⁵ And Jesus replied to them, Can the wedding guests mourn while the bridegroom is still with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. ¹⁶ And no one puts a piece of cloth that has not been shrunk on an old garment, for such a patch tears away from the garment and a worse rent (tear) is made. ¹⁷ Neither is new wine put in old wineskins; for if it is, the skins burst and are torn in pieces, and the wine is spilled and the skins are ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.
