Luke Chapter 5 Verse 39‹No man also having drunk old› [wine] ‹straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.›

And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.

But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

And Jesus answering said unto them, ‹They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.›

‹I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.›

And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise [the disciples] of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?

And he said unto them, ‹Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?›

‹But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.›

And he spake also a parable unto them; ‹No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was› [taken] ‹out of the new agreeth not with the old.›

‹And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.›

‹But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.›

And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing [them] in [their] hands.

And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

And Jesus answering them said, ‹Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;›

‹How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?›

And he said unto them, ‹That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.›

And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, ‹Rise up, and stand forth in the midst.› And he arose and stood forth.

Then said Jesus unto them, ‹I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy› [it]?

And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, ‹Stretch forth thy hand.› And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
