Open this scene in the reader →14Then John's disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?”
15And Jesus said to them, “The wedding attendants cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.”
16But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.
17Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wineskins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. Rather, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.
