Matthew 9:9-17

91As JesusG2424 wentG3855 on fromG1564 thereG1564, He sawG3708 a manG444 calledG3004 2MatthewG3102 sittingG2521 in the taxG5058 collector’sG5058 officeG5058; and He saidG3004 to him, “3FollowG190 Me!” And he gotG450 upG450 and followedG190 Him.

10ThenG2532 it happenedG1096 that as 4JesusG2424 was recliningG345 at the table in the houseG3614, beholdG2400, manyG4183 taxG5057 collectorsG5057 and 5sinnersG268 cameG2064 and began diningG4873 with JesusG2424 and His disciplesG3101. 11And when the PhariseesG5330 sawG3708 this, they saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “6WhyG1223G5101 is your TeacherG1320 eatingG2068 with the taxG5057 collectorsG5057 and sinnersG268?” 12But when Jesus heardG191 this, He saidG3004, “It is not 7thoseG3588 who are healthyG2480 who needG2192G5532 a physicianG2395, but thoseG3588 who are sickG2192G2560. 13NowG1161 goG4198 and learnG3129 89whatG5101 this meansG1510: ‘10I desireG2309 11compassionG1656, 12ratherG3756 thanG2532 sacrificeG2378,’ for 13I did not comeG2064 to callG2564 the righteousG1342, but sinnersG268.”

14ThenG5119 the disciplesG3101 of JohnG2491 cameG4334 to Him, askingG3004, “WhyG1223G5101 do we and 14the PhariseesG5330 fastG3522, but Your disciplesG3101 do not fastG3522?” 15And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “The 15attendantsG5207 of the groomG3567 cannotG1410G3361 mournG3996 as longG3745 as the groomG3566 is with them, can they? But the daysG2250 will comeG2064 whenG3752 the groomG3566 is takenG522 awayG522 from them, and thenG5119 they will fastG3522. 16But noG3762 oneG3762 putsG1911 a patchG1915 of unshrunkG46 clothG4470 on an oldG3820 garmentG2440; for 16the patchG4138 pullsG142 awayG575 from the garmentG2440, and a worseG5501 tearG4978 resultsG1096. 17NorG3761 do people putG906 newG3501 wineG3631 into oldG3820 wineskinsG779; otherwiseG1490 the wineskinsG779 burstG4486, and the wineG3631 poursG1632 outG1632 and the wineskinsG779 are ruinedG622; but they putG906 newG3501 wineG3631 into freshG2537 wineskinsG779, and bothG297 are preservedG4933.”
