19 Jesus answered, can the bridemen fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 but the time will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast. 21 indeed no man ever sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment: because the new piece that is patch'd on, draws the old, and rends it still worse. 22 so no man pours new wine into old skins, for that would burst them, and then both would be lost: but new wine must be put into new skins. 23 Another time, as he was going through the corn-fields on the sabbath-day, his disciples as they pass'd along began to pluck the ears of corn. 24 upon which the Pharisees said to him, pray observe how they trespass on the sabbath-day. 25 but he replied, have ye never read what David, and the rest of the company did, when they were press'd with hunger? 26 how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar, who was afterwards high-priest, and did eat the shew-bread, giving some of it likewise to the company, though the law allow'd no body to eat of it but the priests. 27 adding this observation, "the sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath." 28 therefore the son of man has a power of dispensing with the law of the sabbath.
