²⁷ After that He went out and noticed a tax collector named Levi sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, "Follow Me." ²⁸ And he left everything behind, and got up and began to follow Him. ²⁹ And Levi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a great crowd of tax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them. ³⁰ The Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling at His disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?" ³¹ And Jesus answered and said to them, "It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. ³² "I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." ³³ And they said to Him, "The disciples of John often fast and offer prayers, the disciples of the Pharisees also do the same, but Yours eat and drink." ³⁴ And Jesus said to them, "You cannot make the attendants of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you? ³⁵ "But the days will come; and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days." ³⁶ And He was also telling them a parable: "No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. ³⁷ "And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined. ³⁸ "But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. ³⁹ "And no one, after drinking old wine wishes for new; for he says, 'The old is good enough.'"
