Mark:2:15-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass ,
that ,
as Jesus sat at meat in his house ,
many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples :
for there were many ,
and they followed him .
*
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners ,
they said unto his disciples ,
How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners ?
*
When Jesus heard it ,
he saith unto them ,
They that are whole have no need of the physician ,
but they that are sick :
I came not to call the righteous ,
but sinners to repentance .
*
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast :
and they come and say unto him ,
Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast ,
but thy disciples fast not ?
*
And Jesus said unto them ,
Can the children of the bridechamber fast ,
while the bridegroom is with them ?
as long as they have the bridegroom with them ,
they cannot fast .
*
But the days will come ,
when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them ,
and then shall they fast in those days .
*
No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment :
else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old ,
and the rent is made worse .
*
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles :
else the new wine doth burst the bottles ,
and the wine is spilled ,
and the bottles will be marred :
but new wine must be put into new bottles .
