| 5:33 | But they said to him, “Why do the disciples of John fast frequently, and make supplications, and those of the Pharisees act similarly, while yours eat and drink?” |
| 5:34 | And he said to them: “How can you cause the sons of the groom to fast, while the groom is still with them? |
| 5:35 | But the days will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast, in those days.” |
| 5:36 | Then he also made a comparison for them: “For no one sews a patch from a new garment onto an old garment. Otherwise, he both disrupts the new one, and the patch from the new one does not join together with the old one. |
| 5:37 | And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine ruptures the wineskins, and it will be poured out, and the wineskins will be lost. |
| 5:38 | Instead, the new wine is put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. |
| 5:39 | And no one who is drinking the old, soon wishes for the new. For he says, ‘The old is better.’ ” |
