saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of
the Physician, but they that are sick : I came not to
call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. And the
disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast : and

went, to pluck the ears of corn. And the Pharisees
said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath
