Amplified Bible

Luke 5:33-39

33Then they said to Him, “The disciples of John [the Baptist] often practice fasting and offer prayers [of special petition], and so do the disciples of the Pharisees; but Yours eat and drink.”

34Jesus said to them, “Can you make the wedding guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them?

35But days [for mourning] will come when the bridegroom is [forcefully] taken away from them. They will fast in those days.”

36He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old one; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.

37And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new [fermenting] wine will [expand and] burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined.

38But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.

39And no one, after drinking old wine, wishes for new; for he says, ‘The old is fine.’ ”
