New Testament

Luke 5:31-36 New Century Version (NCV)

31. Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy people who need a doctor, but the sick.

32. I have not come to invite good people but sinners to change their hearts and lives.”

33. They said to Jesus, “John’s followers often fast for a certain time and pray, just as the Pharisees do. But your followers eat and drink all the time.”

34. Jesus said to them, “You cannot make the friends of the bridegroom fast while he is still with them.

35. But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.”

36. Jesus told them this story: “No one takes cloth off a new coat to cover a hole in an old coat. Otherwise, he ruins the new coat, and the cloth from the new coat will not be the same as the old cloth.
