1:38 He
(Jesus) said to them. "Let us go
elsewhere, into the neigh- bouring towns so that
I can proclaim there as well because it was for this reason that I came forth (out of his own home).”

2:15 - 22 It happened that he was reclining
in his house and many tax-collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus
and his disciples. There were many
of these and they followed him. The
scribes of the Pharisees, on seeing that he was eating with sinners and
tax-collectors said to his disciples.
"Why does he eat with tax-collectors and sinners?" On hearing this Jesus said to them. "Those who are strong do not have
need of a physician, but those who are ill do have this need. I did not come (out) to call the righteous but sinners."
The
disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting. They came and said to him (Jesus). "Why do the disciples of John and
the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?" He (Jesus) said to them. "The sons of the bride chamber
cannot fast while the bridegroom is with them. What time do they have to fast? But the days will come when the
bridegroom is taken away from them and then they will fast, on that
day.
No
one sews a patch of new cloth on an old garment, otherwise when under
pressure the new will pull and there is a worse tear. And no one puts new wine into old
wineskins. Otherwise the wine will
burst the wineskins and the wine will perish along with the wineskin. But new wine goes into fresh wine
skins."
