Luke 5:33-39 (Gospel)
- 33
- Then they said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?”
- 34
- And He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?
- 35
- But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.”
- 36
- Then He spoke a parable to them: “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old.
- 37
- And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined.
- 38
- But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.
- 39
- And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
