called  Matthew,  sitting  at  the  place  of  toll  :  and  he  saith
unto  him,  Follow  me.     And  he  arose,  and  followed  him.

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  *sat  at  meat  in  tlie  house,
behold,  many  pubUcans  and  sinners  came  and   sat  down

11  with  Jesus  and  his  disciples.  "And  when  the  Pharisees
saw  it,    they  said   unto   his   disciples,  Why   eateth  your

(12  *  Master  with  the  publicans  and  sinners?  "But  when  he
heard  it,  he  saici,nrhey  that  are  ^  whole  have  no  need  of  a

(13  physician,  but  they  that  are  sick.")  "But  go  ye  and  learn
what  this  meaneth,  I  desire  mefcy,  and  not  sacrifice  :  for
I  came  not  to  call  the  righteous,  but  sinners.
14  Then  come  to  him  the  disciples  of  John,  saying.  Why
do  we  and  the    Pharisees  fast  *oft,  but  thy  disciples  fast

15  not?  "And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Can  the  sons  of  the
bride-chamber  mourn,  as  long  as  the  bridegroom  is  with
them  ?  but  the  days  will  come,  when  the  bridegroom
shall  be  taken  away  from  them,  and  then  will  they  fast.
