8Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you, your burnt offerings are always before me. 9I will not take a bullock from your house, or he-goats from your folds. 16III - But to the wicked God says: “Why do you recite my commandments and profess my covenant with your mouth? 17You hate discipline; you cast my words behind you! 21When you do these things should I be silent? Do you think that I am like you? I accuse you, I lay out the matter before your eyes. 23Those who offer praise as a sacrifice honor me; I will let him whose way is steadfast look upon the salvation of God.”

12Indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.

18The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were accustomed to fast. People came to him and objected, “Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 19Jesus answered them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast. 20But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day. 21No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak. If he does, its fullness pulls away, the new from the old, and the tear gets worse. 22Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are ruined. Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins.” The Disciples and the Sabbath.
