Luke 5:27-38

Twentieth_Century(i) 27 After this, Jesus went out; and he noticed a tax-gatherer, named Levi, sitting in the tax-office, and said to him: "Follow me." 28 Levi left everything and got up and followed him. 29 And Levi gave a great entertainment at his house, in honor of Jesus; and a large number of tax-gatherers and others were at table with them. 30 The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law belonging to their party complained of this to the disciples of Jesus." 31 In answer Jesus said: "It is not those who are well that need a doctor, but those who are ill. 32 I have not come to call the religious, but the outcast, to repent." 33 "John's disciples," they said to Jesus, "Often fast and say prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, while yours are eating and drinking!" 34 But Jesus answered them: "Can you make the bridegroom's friends fast while the bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come--a time when the bridegroom will be parted from them; and they will fast then, when those days come." 36 Then, as an illustration, Jesus said to them: "No man ever tears a piece from a new garment and puts it upon an old one; for, if he does, he will not only tear the new garment, but the piece from the new one will not match the old. 37 And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins; for, if he does, the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine itself will run out, and the skins be lost. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh skins.
