Luke 5:33-39

33Then they said to him, “John’s disciples frequently fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours continue to eat and drink.”

34So Jesus said to them, “You cannot make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you?

35But those days are coming, and when the bridegroom is taken from them, at that time they will fast.”

36He also told them a parable: “No one tears a patch from a new garment and sews it on an old garment. If he does, he will have torn the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.

37And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.

38Instead new wine must be poured into new wineskins.

39No one after drinking old wine wants the new, for he says, ‘The old is good enough.’”
