Luke 5:29-35

29Levi held a large reception at his home for Jesus. A huge crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them.

30The Pharisees and their experts in Moses’ Teachings complained to Jesus’ disciples. They asked, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Jesus answered them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor; those who are sick do.

32I’ve come to call sinners to change the way they think and act, not to call people who think they have God’s approval.”

33They said to him, “John’s disciples frequently fast and say prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees. But your disciples eat and drink.”

34Jesus asked them, “Can you force wedding guests to fast while the groom is still with them?

35The time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. At that time they will fast.”
