Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not spurn nor abhor them. LAWS ABOUT VOWS No devoted thing to the Lord shall be sold or redeemed. Every tithe of the land is the Lord's, holy. JESUS HEALS A PARALYTIC Capernaum, Jesus was preaching. 4 friends lifted a friend down from the roof to Jesus to be healed. Jesus saw their faith. "Son, your sins are forgiven" Scribes questioned in their hearts. "The Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins." "I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home." they were all amazed and glorified God. JESUS CALLS LEVI beside the sea, He was teaching, He calls Levi at the tax booth. "Follow me" he rose and followed. Jesus reclined with sinners, eating with them. "Those who are well have no need of a physician but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous but sinners." A QUESTION ABOUT FASTING "Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast. Unshrunk cloth is not for old garment, it will tear, the new from the old. The new wine is not for old wineskins, it will burst. new wine is for fresh wineskins" JESUS IS THE LORD OF THE SABBATH the disciples plucked heads of grain and ate. The Pharisees were outraged. "Have you never read what David did? when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: he entered the house of God and ate bread. The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath"
