Matthew 9:9-17

Haweis(i) 9 And Jesus passing from thence, saw a man sitting at the custom house, called Matthew: and saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. 10 And it came to pass, as he sat in his house, many tax-gatherers and sinners came, and sat down at table with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And the Pharisees observing it, said to his disciples, How is this, that your Master eateth with publicans and sinners? 12 But Jesus hearing it, said unto them, They who are in the vigour of health have no need of the physician, but they who have illness. 13 Go then, and learn what is said, "I require mercy and not sacrifice:" for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 14 Then came unto him disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees keep many fasts, but thy disciples fast not? 15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber weep, whilst the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast. 16 But no man ingrafts a patch of undressed cloth into an old garment, for the piece supplied taketh from the garment, and the rent becomes worse. 17 Nor do they put new wine into old bottles: but if they do, the bottles burst, and the wine is spilt, and the bottles are destroyed: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
