Luke 5:27–6:11
27 And after these things, he went out and saw a tax collector ⌊named⌋j Levi sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me!” 28 And leaving everything behind, he got up and* began to follow* him.
29 And Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining for the meal with them. 30 And the Pharisees and their scribes began to complain* to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?” 31 And Jesus answered and* said to them, “Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those ⌊who are sick⌋.k 32 I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”
33 And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and make prayers—likewise also the disciples* of the Pharisees—but yours are eating and drinking!” 34 So he* saidl to them, “You are not able to make the ⌊bridegroom’s attendants⌋m fast as long as the bridegroom is with them, are you?* 35 But days will come, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.” 36 And he also told a parable to them: “No one tears a patch from a new garment and* puts it* on an old garment. Otherwise, he will have torn the new also, and the old will not match the patch that is from the new. 37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the wineskins, and it will be spilled and the wineskins will be destroyed. 38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins. 39 And no one after* drinking old wine* wants new, because he says, ‘The old is just fine!’ ”
6 Now it happened that on a Sabbath he went through the grain fields, and his disciples were picking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them* in their* hands. 2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath? 3 And Jesus answered and* said to them, “Have you not read this, what David did when he and those who were with him were hungry—4 how he entered into the house of God and took the bread of the presentation, which it is not permitted to eat (except the priests alone), and* ate it* and gave it* to those with him?” 5 And he said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
A Man with a Withered Hand Healed
6 Now it happened that on another Sabbath he entered into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there, and his right hand was withered. 7 So the scribes and the Pharisees were watching closelya to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, in order that they could find a reason* to accuse him. 8 But he knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Get up and stand in the middle,” and he got up and* stood there. 9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you whether it is permitted on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to destroy it?”* 10 And after* looking around at them all, he said to him, “Stretch out your hand,” and he did, and his hand was restored. 11 But they were filled with fury, and began discussing* with one another what they might do to Jesus.
