Matthew 9:9-17

9And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

10And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples.

11And the Pharisees seeing [it], said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?

12But [Jesus] hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.

13But go and learn what [that] is — I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous [men] but sinners.

14Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?

15And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.

16But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place.

17Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.
