Luke 5:30-39 ▼

30 and the scribes and the Pharisees among them were murmuring at His disciples, saying, “Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31 And Jesus answering said to them, “They who are well have no need of a physician, but they that are ill:

32 I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to conversion.”

33 And they said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make supplications—in like manner also those of the Pharisees—but Yours eat and drink?”

34 And He said to them, “Are you able to make the sons of the bride-chamber—in the Bridegroom being with them—to fast?

35 But days will come, and when the Bridegroom may be taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.”

36 And He spoke also an allegory to them: “No one puts a patch of new clothing on old clothing, and if otherwise, the new also makes a split, and with the old the patch does not agree, that [is] from the new.

37 And no one puts new wine into old skins, and if otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;

38 but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved together;

39 and no one having drunk old, immediately wishes new, for he says, The old is better.”
