Luke - ch 5 v 21 - 39
- And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
- But Jesus perceiving their reasonings, answered and said unto them, Why reason ye in your hearts?
- Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?
- But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he said unto him that was palsied), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thy house.
- And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
- And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.
- And after these things he went forth, and beheld a publican, named Levi, sitting at the place of toll, and said unto him, Follow me.
- And he forsook all, and rose up and followed him.
- And Levi made him a great feast in his house: and there was a great multitude of publicans and of others that were sitting at meat with them.
- And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans and sinners?
- And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician; but they that are sick.
- I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
- And they said unto him, The disciples of John fast often, and make supplications; likewise also the `disciples' of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink.
- And Jesus said unto them, Can ye make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
- But the days will come; and when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days.
- And he spake also a parable unto them: No man rendeth a piece from a new garment and putteth it upon an old garment; else he will rend the new, and also the piece from the new will not agree with the old.
- And no man putteth new wine into old wine-skins; else the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be spilled, and the skins will perish.
- But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins.
