Matthew 9:13 Context
11And when the Pharisees saw it, they said vnto his disciples, Why eateth your master with publicanes & sinners. 12But when Iesus heard that, hee said vnto them, They that be whole neede not a Physicion, but they that are sicke. 13But goe ye and learne what that meaneth, I will haue mercy and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 14¶ Then came to him the disciples of Iohn, saying, Why doe we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? 15And Iesus saide vnto them, Can the children of the bride-chamber mourne, as long as the bridegrome is with them? But the dayes will come when the bridegrome shall bee taken from them, and then shall they fast.
