3And behold some of the scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth.

4And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts?

5Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walk?

6But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the man sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.

7And he arose, and went into his house.

8And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men.

9And when Jesus passed on from thence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he arose up and followed him.

10And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

11And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?

12But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.

13Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.

14Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees, fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?

15And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.

16And nobody putteth a piece of raw cloth unto an old garment. For it taketh away the fulness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent.

17Neither do they put new wine into old bottles. Otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish. But new wine they put into new bottles: and both are preserved.
