Luke 5:29-35

29Then Levi hosted a grand banquet for him at his house. Now there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining at the table with them.

30But the Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Jesus replied to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a doctor, but those who are sick.

32I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

33Then they said to him, “John’s disciples fast often and say prayers, and those of the Pharisees do the same, but yours eat and drink.”

34Jesus said to them, “You can’t make the wedding guests fast while the groom is with them, can you?

35But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them — then they will fast in those days.”
