29Then Levi made a great banquet for Him at his house; and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.
30Well the scribes and Pharisees complained about them to His disciples, saying, “How can you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?!”
31So Jesus reacted and said to them: “Those who are healthy have no need of a physician, just those who are sick.
32I have not come to call righteous people to repentance, just sinners.”
33Then they said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but yours keep eating and drinking?”
34So He said to them: “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?
35But days are coming when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then, in those days, they will fast.”
36Then He also told them a parable: “No one puts a patch from a new garment on an old one; otherwise, both the new makes a tear and that from the new does not match the old.
37And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst those skins and will itself be spilled and the skins wasted.
38Rather, new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.
39Further, no one having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”
