Luke 5:30-39 ▼

30 And their scribes and pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

31 And Jesus answered and said unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I am not come to call the righteous,

32 but sinners to repentance.

33 And they said unto Him, Why do the disciples of John frequently fast and pray, and likewise those of the pharisees; but thine eat and drink?

34 And He said unto them, Can ye make those of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

35 but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, then they will fast.

36 Then He spake a parable to them, That no one putteth a piece of new cloth upon an old garment: otherwise, the new maketh a rent, and doth not match the old:

37 nor doth any one put new wine in to old vessels; otherwise, the new wine will burst the casks, and be spilled, and the vessels will be destroyed:

38 but new wine must be put into new vessels, and then both are saved.

39 And no one that has been drinking old wine, immediately desireth new; for he saith, the old is better.
