Luke 5:30-39 ▼

30 The Pharisees and their scribes [began] grumbling at His disciples, saying, |Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?|

31 And Jesus answered and said to them, |[It is] not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick.

32 |I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.|

33 And they said to Him, |The disciples of John often fast and offer prayers, the [disciples] of the Pharisees also do the same, but Yours eat and drink.|

34 And Jesus said to them, |You cannot make the attendants of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you?

35 |But [the] days will come; and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.|

36 And He was also telling them a parable: |No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.

37 |And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined.

38 |But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.

39 |And no one, after drinking old [wine] wishes for new; for he says, 'The old is good [enough].'|
