Luke 5.27-39

Jesus Chooses Levi

Later, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at
the place for paying taxes. Jesus said to him, "Come with me." Levi
left everything and went with Jesus.In his home Levi gave a big dinner
for Jesus. Many tax collectors and other guests were also there. The
Pharisees and some of their teachers of the Law of Moses grumbled to
Jesus' disciples, "Why do you eat and drink with those tax collectors
and other sinners?" Jesus answered, "Healthy people don't need a
doctor, but sick people do. I didn't come to invite good people to
turn to God. I came to invite sinners."

People Ask about Going without Eating

Some people said to Jesus, "John's followers often pray and go without
eating, and so do the followers of the Pharisees. But your disciples
never go without eating or drinking." Jesus told them, "The friends of
a bridegroom don't go without eating while he is still with them. But
the time will come when he will be taken from them. Then they will go
without eating."

Jesus then told them these sayings: No one uses a new piece of cloth
to patch old clothes. The patch would shrink and make the hole even
bigger. No one pours new wine into old wineskins. The new wine would
swell and burst the old skins. Then the wine would be lost, and the
skins would be ruined. New wine must be put only into new wineskins.
No one wants new wine after drinking old wine. They say, "The old wine
is better."

God bless you.
