I came not to
call the righteous, but to call sinners to repentance.
The disciples of John and of the Pharisees came to Jesus and asked, Why
do the disciples of John and the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples do
not? And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast
while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom
with them, they cannot fast. But the day will come, when the bridegroom
shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.
No man sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece
that filled it up takes away from the old and the rent is made worse.
And no man puts new wine into old bottles: else the new wine bursts the
bottles, the wine is spilled, and the bottles are marred. New wine must
be put into new bottles.
And it came to pass, that He went through the corn fields on the
sabbath day; and His disciples began to pluck the ears of corn as they
went along. The Pharisees said to Him, Behold, why do they do that
which is not lawful on the sabbath day? And Jesus responded, Have ye
never read what David, and they that were with him, did when they had
need and were hungry? How he went into the house of God in the days of
Abiathar, the high priest, and ate the showbread? How this was only
lawful for the priests to eat? And how David also gave it to those who
were with him? Then Jesus said to them, The sabbath was made for man,
and not man for the sabbath; therefore, the Son of man is Lord of the
sabbath also.
