Context
11Mafarisayo walipoona mambo haya, wakawauliza wanafunzi wake, “Kwa nini Mwalimu wenu anakula pamoja na watoza ushuru na ‘wenye dhambi’?” 12Lakini Yesu aliposikia hayo, akawaambia, “Watu wenye afya hawahitaji tabibu, lakini wale walio wagonjwa ndio wanaohitaji tabibu. 13Nendeni mkajifunze maana ya maneno haya: ‘Nataka rehema, wala si dhabihu.’ Kwa maana sikuja kuwaita wenye haki, bali wenye dhambi.” 14Wanafunzi wa Yohana Mbatizaji wakaja na kumuuliza Yesu, “Imekuwaje kwamba sisi na Mafarisayo tunafunga, lakini wanafunzi wako hawafungi?” 15Yesu akawajibu, “Wageni wa bwana arusi wawezaje kuomboleza wakati angali pamoja nao? Wakati utafika ambapo bwana arusi ataondolewa kwao. Hapo ndipo watakapofunga.
