Context
The Call of Levi; Eating with Sinners
5:27 After this , Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth . “Follow me ,” he said to him .
5:28 And he got up and followed him , leaving everything behind.
5:29 Then Levi gave a great banquet in his house for Jesus , and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others sitting at the table with them .
5:30 But the Pharisees and their experts in the law complained to his disciples , saying , “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners ?”
5:31 Jesus answered them , “Those who are well don’t need a physician , but those who are sick sick do.
5:32 I have not come to call the righteous , but sinners to repentance .”
The Superiority of the New
5:33 Then they said to him , “John’s disciples frequently fast and pray , and so do the disciples of the Pharisees , but yours continue to eat and drink .”
5:34 So Jesus said to them , “You cannot cannot make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them , can you?
5:35 But those days are coming , and when the bridegroom is taken from them , at that time they will fast .”
5:36 He also told them a parable : “No one tears a patch from a new garment and sews it on an old garment . If he does, he will have torn the new , and the piece from the new will not match the old .
5:37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins . If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and will be spilled , and the skins will be destroyed .
5:38 Instead new wine must be poured into new wineskins .
5:39 No one after drinking old wine wants the new , for he says , ‘The old is good enough .’”
