← Matthew 9:13 [words of Jesus]	Matthew 9:14 (KJV)	Matthew 9:15 [words of Jesus] →
But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.	Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?	And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
