Luke 5:27-39

271AfterG3326 that He wentG1831 outG1831 and lookedG2300 atG2300 a taxG5057 collectorG5057 namedG3686 23LeviG3017 sittingG2521 in the taxG5058 officeG5058, and He saidG3004 to him, “FollowG190 Me.” 28And he 4leftG2641 everythingG3956 behindG2641, and gotG450 upG450 and began followingG190 Him.

29And 5LeviG3017 gaveG4160 a bigG3173 receptionG1403 for Him in his houseG3614; and there was a largeG4183 crowdG3793 of 6taxG5057 collectorsG5057 and otherG243 people whoG3739 were recliningG2621 at the table with them. 307The PhariseesG5330 and their scribesG1122 began grumblingG1111 to His disciplesG3101, sayingG3004, “WhyG1223G5101 do you eatG2068 and drinkG4095 with the taxG5057 collectorsG5057 and 8sinnersG268?” 31And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “9It is not thoseG3588 who are healthyG5198 who needG5532 a physicianG2395, but thoseG3588 who are sickG2560. 32I have not comeG2064 to callG2564 the righteousG1342 to repentanceG3341, but sinnersG268.”

33And they saidG3004 to Him, “10The disciplesG3101 of JohnG2491 oftenG4437 fastG3522 and offerG4160 prayersG1162, the disciples of the PhariseesG5330 alsoG2532 do 11the sameG3668, but YoursG4674 eatG2068 and drinkG4095.” 34And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “You cannotG1410G3361 makeG4160 the 12attendantsG5207 of the groomG3567 fastG3522 whileG1722G3739 the groomG3566 is with them, can you? 3513But the daysG2250 will comeG2064; and whenG3752 the groomG3566 is takenG522 awayG522 from them, thenG5119 they will fastG3522 in thoseG1565 daysG2250.” 36And He was alsoG2532 tellingG3004 them a parableG3850: “NoG3762 oneG3762 tearsG4977 a pieceG1915 ofG1915 clothG1915 from a newG2537 garmentG2440 and putsG1911 it on an oldG3820 garmentG2440; otherwiseG1490 he will bothG2532 tearG4977 the newG2537, and the patchG1915 from the newG2537 garment will not matchG4856 the oldG3820. 37And noG3762 oneG3762 poursG906 newG3501 wineG3631 into oldG3820 wineskinsG779; otherwiseG1490 the newG3501 wineG3631 will burstG4486 the skinsG779 and it will be spilledG1632 outG1632, and the skinsG779 will be ruinedG622. 38But newG3501 wineG3631 mustG992 beG992 putG992 into freshG2537 wineskinsG779. 39And noG3762 oneG3762, after drinkingG4095 oldG3820 wine wantsG2309 newG3501; for he saysG3004, ‘The oldG3820 is fineG5543.’”
