Episode Notes

[27] After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow Me." [28] So he left all, rose up, and followed Him. [29] Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them. [30] And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, "Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?" [31] Jesus answered and said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. [32] "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." [33] Then they said to Him, "Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?" [34] And He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? [35] "But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days." [36] Then He spoke a parable to them: "No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. [37] "And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. [38] "But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. [39] "And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, 'The old is better.' " (Luke 5:27-39 NKJV)
