29And Levi made a great entertainment to him in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax-gatherers and others who were with them reclining (at meat),
30and the scribes and the Pharisees among them were murmuring at his disciples, saying, `Wherefore with tax-gatherers and sinners do ye eat and drink?`
31And Jesus answering said unto them, `They who are well have no need of a physician, but they that are ill:
32I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.`
33And they said unto him, `Wherefore do the disciples of John fast often, and make supplications -- in like manner also those of the Pharisees -- but thine do eat and drink?`
34And he said unto them, `Are ye able to make the sons of the bride-chamber -- in the bridegroom being with them -- to fast?
35but days will come, and, when the bridegroom may be taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.`
