ve seen strange things to-day.
3 [5:27]And after these things he went out and saw a publican by the
name of Levi, sitting at the custom house, and said to him, Follow me.
[5:28]And leaving all he arose and followed him. [5:29]And Levi made a
great feast for him at his house; and there was a great multitude of
publicans and of others who reclined with them. [5:30]And the Pharisees
and their scribes complained to his disciples, saying, Why do you eat
and drink with publicans? [5:31]And Jesus answered and said to them,
The well need not a physician, but the ill. [5:32]I have not come to
call the righteous, but sinners to a change of mind.
4 [5:33]And they said to him, The disciples of John fast much and make
prayers; and likewise those of the Pharisees; but yours eat and drink.
[5:34]And he said to them, Can you make the children of the
bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? [5:35]But days

their hands. [6:2]And some of the Pharisees said, Why do you do what is
not lawful on the sabbath? [6:3]And Jesus answered and said to them,
Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those with
him? [6:4]He entered into the house of God, and took the show bread,
and eat, and gave to those with him, which it was not lawful for any to
eat, except the priests alone. [6:5]And he said to them, The Son of man
is Lord even of the sabbath.
7 [6:6]And on another sabbath he went into the synagogue and taught.
And there was a man there whose right hand was withered. [6:7]And the
scribes and Pharisees watched him [to see] if he would perform a cure
