🍃🕊️01/27 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️
9 - As Jesus was walking on, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collecting booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him. (Matthew who’s account this is, was a tax collector, who were not popular with fellow Hebrews/Israelis/Jews, as the taxes collected were for Imperial Rome. World domination - Imperialism - being the main dream of the rogue powers and principalities.)
10 And as Jesus was reclined at table in the house of Matthew, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining at table with Jesus and his disciples. 11 Now when the Pharisees saw this! They asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when he heard it, Jesus said, “Those who are not ill, don’t need a physician, the ones who are not well do. 13 Go and learn what this means - ‘It’s mercy I desire, and not sacrifices.’ I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
14 Some disciples of John came looking for him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t?” 15 Jesus answered them with a question, “Can the wedding guests mourn while the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away, and then they’ll fast. 16 Because no one sews on a piece of unshrunk cloth onto an old garment, for the patch will tear the garment worse than at first. 17 Neither do we put new wine in an old wineskin, for the skin will burst, spilling the wine and ruining the skin. But new wine is put into new wineskins, so both the wine and the skin are preserved.”
